From the Rainmeter context menu, if you say "Edit Settings", that loads Rainmeter.ini in your default text editor, so in most cases you shouldn't really need to go "find" it.
Using RainBrowser and using "Edit Settings" under "Global Actions" does the same thing.
Unfortunately, I came across one of those rare exceptions. Instead of adding the proper path to Notepad++.exe, I had put the path to Rainmeter.exe
An understandable mistake when watching three noisy children. It caused a second iteration of Rainmeter to launch whenever I clicked on "edit settings" or "edit skin". I did manage to manually locate the .ini file and correct my mistake successfully.
There are a few different ways, that’s a way to make rainmeter itself open it. But there are ways to change the default editor for everything on your computer to what you want for most programs. Now these links many deal with Notepad++ as that’s what I use, but they are ways for other notepad programs to work same way, just have to google them, and some work in same manner as this one.

Rainmeter default editor =/= Windows default editor
it overrides the Windows settings.
Win7...
right click on an .ini, select "properties".....about 3rd line down says "Opens with: [box w/ name of program] [CHANGE]"
CHANGE being a button, click there and select program of your choice.....
@moshi : it worked in win7....they always open in np++ from rainmeter manager/ or right click context menu....and I have never changed the setting in Rainmeter....
