          Create a .desktop file, say read-info1.desktop and add the following lines:



          [Desktop Entry]
          Name=Read info1
          Comment=Read the info1.txt file in Terminal
          Exec=gnome-terminal -x sh -c 'cat /home/YOUR-USERNAME/info1.txt; exec bash'
          Terminal=false
          Type=Application
          Icon=text-x-generic


          Of course put your actual username in place of YOUR-USERNAME in the Exec= line.
