As a new commer to computers I need to alter the boot ini file .Where can I find it

As a newcomer to computers you probably shouldn't be messing with the boot.ini file - if you mess it up, your computer will no longer boot. For what purpose do you want to do this?

The boot.ini file is a protected operating system file, and is hidden by default - for good reason. I couldn't, in good conscience, tell an admitted beginner how to get to it without at least some assurance that they had good information about what they were doing, and a good reason for doing it.

File -> Tools -> Options.

There you can enable the showing of system files and hidden files.

It is in C:\boot.ini

It is the configuration file used by the bootloader.

If you mess with it, Windows might not boot.
