Hi Xin,

one solution is to customize the variable org-file-apps and
add to an entry like this:

             Choice:   Value Menu   Extension: \.info\'
             Choice:   Value Menu   Visit with Emacs

Any file types that have an major-mode assigned to it using
auto-mode-alist will already be visited by Emacs automatically,
but .info is not one of those file types.  So another solution
would be something like the following in your setup.

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.info\\'" . text-mode))

Actualy, this is probably the better solution.
