You can specify a new file in the emulator options from Visual Studio. To do that, go into:
Tools->Options->Devices->Devices options->one of the emulator->properties->properties->Flash file
The first time that you will select "Save" from the emulator "Flash" menu, the flash file specified in the emulator options will be created. The emulator will then be able to reuse this file whenever you start an emulator instance pointing to that file as the Flash memory file.

I must be doing something wrong. I've gone into Tools, Options, Device Tools, Devices, Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator, selected Properties, Emulator Options, and in the resulting dialog entered the following in the "Flash memory file:" text box:

C:\Temp\Emulator.bin

When I start the emulator and click on the Flash menu item the Save menu item is disabled. If I click on the File menu and select the Configure menu item the Emulator Properties dialog box opens but the "Flash memory file:" text box is emtpy and it is also disabled.

What am I doing wrong?

Are you attempting to do this with Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto) or Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (OzoneUpdate) images? The WM2005 images don't have a Flash driver due to resource constraints.

You might have a save state that was created without the flash option. When the emulator is up, use the "Clear save state" from the File menu. To verify, check if there are any files in:
\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator
If there are, you can delete those and try to launch the emulator again.
