How to configure an autorun.inf file?

I was wondering if I can create an autorun.inf file that does not run an .exe file. Intstead, it can open up a web browser or plays a video. How do I go about doing these steps? Of course, I do know that some .inf files can be detected as a virus, but this autorun.inf file I wish to do is clean.

Advice on how to do this is appreciated.

basically, everything you put in the open= portion of the .inf will be opened with the default associated application, or executed.

If you put a web address in there like this : 

open=http://www.google.com

it will open google.com in the system's default web browser.

you can (of course) always check the docs Microsoft provides.
