The ".minecraft" *file* you are talking about is the folder which is located [in default] C:\Users\[your_account_name]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft.
This folder section [AppData] is default = Hidden. To view said folder(s) open your windows explorer (Hit the windows key, then click Computer). Once a screen pops up saying your hard drives/disk drives, hit the "Alt" key on your keyboard until you see a new bar containing options: File | Edit | View | Tools | Help
Click Tools > Folder Options > View
Now look down a little bit and search for "Hidden files and folders"
Make sure "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is toggled instead of the other option listed there.
Now you should be able to find and edit the contents in your AppData folder.
OR
Hit the windows key on your keyboard + R
Type "%AppData%", (minus the quotation marks) and hit Enter.
At the top, if sorted by default, should be your .minecraft folder.
Please don't mess around with any other folders/files in that directory [AppData] as it can result in unexpected and unpredictable results.
