I don't have time to write the code for you but you can try using a linklabel object.

 Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
        Dim thisfile As String, retval
        thisfile = "Readme.txt"
        retval = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(thisfile)
    End Sub

make sure you have the file in you bin of the project
