Where is the boot.ini file in Windows 7?

Supposedly it's in the C: drive - I enabled hidden files and disabled Hide system files in the Folder Options but I still can't find it. Does anyone know where it is?

There isn't a boot.ini in Windows 7. You can use msconfig to edit boot option however.

Windows 7/Vista has a hidden boot partition, containing the BCD - boot configuration data. Similar to boot.ini but you can't easily edit it like you can with notepad and XP. You can also use the bcdedit tool.
