Even if you haven't installed Windows 95 yet, you can still open a readme 
file.

2. At the command prompt, type:

        A:EXTRACT.EXE /A /L C:\WINDOWS WIN95_02.CAB name_of_read-me.txt

   For example, if you wanted to open General.txt, you would type:

3. Change to the Windows directory.
4. At the command prompt, type:
        EDIT
5. Open the file.


Uninstalling Windows 95
=======================
During Setup, you'll have the option of saving your system files so that
you can uninstall Windows 95 later. If you choose Yes, Setup will save your
system files in a hidden, compressed file. If you choose No, you won't be
able to uninstall Windows 95.

The Setup option will not show up if any of the following apply:
- You are upgrading over Win95.
- You are installing to a new directory.
- You aren't running MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.x.

A few notes:
- You cannot store the uninstall files on a network drive or a floppy
  disk.
- If you have multiple local drives, you will be able to select the
  one you want to save the uninstall information on.

To uninstall Windows 95 and completely restore your system to its
previous versions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Windows 95, and then click Remove.

Or, if you are having problems starting Windows 95, use your startup
disk to start your computer, and then run UNINSTAL from the startup
disk.

Note: The uninstall program needs to shut down Windows 95. If there is a
problem with this on your computer, restart your computer and press
F8 when you see the message "Starting Windows 95." Then choose
Command Prompt Only and run UNINSTAL from the command prompt.

If Windows 95 is running and you want to remove the uninstall files to free
up disk space (6 to 9MB), follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Old Windows 3.x/MS-DOS System
   Files, and then click Remove.

You will no longer be able to uninstall Windows 95.
