In Windows, how to rename matplotlibrc to .matplotlibrc?

I'm trying to get Matplotlib set up, and I've followed the suggestion
to move matplotlibrc to C:\Documents and Settings\Riley. But it seems
I also need to rename it to .matplotlibrc . Explorer won't let me. So
how to do this?

Thanks,

You do not need to do this. In a typical installation, the file will reside in

C:\\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc

You can edit that file.
