Most likely located in Document and settings/user. Their should be only one config.pro file. you can edit this file with note pad.

Do you trust you intuition or go with the flow?
 
There can be 3 config.pro files that all get read when Pro/E starts.
The order for reading the files determines what kinds of settings each file could have.
1. <proEloadpoint>\text - system defined settings
2. User's home folder - user preference settings
3. Start-in folder - project specific settings

We use 1 and 3. The loadpoint has all of the settings that we want set across all users. The start-in settings is really just 1 line so when the user goes to edit the settings, they don't get the main file since it loaded first.

Settings in the second and third file override the previous settings. To prevent a setting from being changed, put it in a comfig.sup file in the loadpoint\text folder. Do not put mapkeys in config.sup.



"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

If I may add something. There is also in <proEloadpoint>\text another config file. This is config.sup, in this you put settings that you want all users to have and cannot be overidden by any other config. In our case an example would be
the units used in PROE.
