yes you need to do it in config.pro. the option is protkdat and point it to emxloadpoint\text\
next time when you start pro, it will open the emx menu in proe window. you may also need to do one more thing. there is a config.pro file in emx, maybe in text folder. just open it in wordpad, open your original config.pro file in wordpad, copy all the text from emx config pro and paste it in the end of your config pro file and save it. If the saving cause it to name config.pro.txt, then you can rename it after quiting the wordpad by classic window method to config.pro and thats it.
 
a good way to do it is to make another copy of wildfire shortcut on your desktop and rename it to emx. make a new folder at some safe place and copy that modified configpro in that folder. right click on the emx shortcut, at the perameter start folder, put the address of your new folder that contains emx config.pro file. Also search for config.win file in emx and do it like you do with your genuine config.pro file and save it in this directory too. when you need to start emx, you can run it by this shortcut and you will get emx menu + emx toolbars in your wildfire gui.

I dont know how you installed proe on your pc. But if you didnt yet set the start folder, so I can give you my config.pro file. You can make a folder by any name, I am using a folder names start. So you can make any folder and put the config pro file in it. Then make another folder named emx, then put the emx config file in it and do what I said. My cofig pro has some mapkeys and you can use F keys for that.
