3. right click the rain drop in ur processes

4. Goto skins->(theme name)->???->(name).ini

I have used Rainmeter quite extensively and I can tell you that you don't want to use Rainmeter to poll things like temps/utilization. Its method of doing so is very basic and will put quite a strain on your CPU at all times. Live without it. An alternative would be to use a program like AIDA64 that has the ability to put tray icons on your start bar for anything in your system that has a sensor.

I'm using it now and it barely uses any CPU, like 0,4% I believe on a 8320. It was however kinda hard to get it working and TBH I can't remember how I did it.
