You'll have to un-hide "protected operating system files" first to see boot.ini:
In Windows Explorer, uncheck the box:
Tools>Folder Options>View>Hide protected....

When I installed XP Pro (SP2) on machines with 4GB of memory, the /3GB switch 
was automatically added to boot.ini. You should only have to add it if you 
increase your memory after installation.
