If you want, I can also walk you step-by-step to compare the 2025 vs. 2026 versions.\n\n---\n\n### What the documentation says\n\n- Leasey uses a folder structure rooted at **`C:\\LeaseyData`** to store its files, and inside that you\u2019ll find version-specific subfolders and backup folders. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Installation.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- There is a folder specifically called **`JAWSFiles`** under `LeaseyData`. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/leaseydocumentation?utm_source=openai))  \n- Before you asked: Leasey used to store things like LeaseyTexts in the JAWS *Settings/ENU* folder (part of JAWS\u2019 profile), but starting from version 4.2, Leasey moved relevant files from those JAWS Settings folders into its new global location under `C:\\LeaseyData` so settings (like LeaseyTexts) are shared across different installed JAWS versions. ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/b45?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Likely Folder/File for LeaseyTexts\n\nBased on what I saw, the LeaseyTexts are almost certainly stored somewhere under:\n\n```\nC:\\LeaseyData\\JAWSFiles\n```\n\nInside that folder, you\u2019ll likely find:\n\n- One or more files (likely `.txt` files) each representing one LeaseyText, or possibly all LeaseyTexts in a single file.\n- Possibly subfolders by version (e.g. `JAWS2025`, `JAWS2026`) or grouped in \u201cbackup\u201d or \u201ccurrent\u201d sets. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Installation.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### What to do to compare your 2025 vs. 2026 LeaseyTexts\n\nHere are steps you can follow to \u201ceyeball\u201d differences and make sure nothing got lost:\n\n1. **Open File Explorer**  \n   Make sure you can *see file paths* and *file extensions* (you may need to enable \u201cShow file extensions\u201d under View options in Windows).  \n\n2. **Navigate to `C:\\LeaseyData\\JAWSFiles`**  \n\n3. **Look for subfolders with version numbers or backups**  \n   You might see folders like `JAWS2025`, `JAWS2026`, or something similar. Also possibly backup folders named `JAWS XXX Backup`. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Installation.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n4. **Find files containing the LeaseyTexts**  \n   These might be `.txt` files perhaps with names like *LeaseyTexts.txt* or possibly each text with its own file. If it's one large file, open it to see all the stored texts.\n\n5. **Compare timestamps**  \n   By looking at \u201cDate Modified\u201d for the files, you can see which were last edited. If you have both versions (2025 & 2026) installed, check which folder has newer edits.\n\n6. **Copy files out / backup**  \n   If you want to be safe, copy both sets of files to another folder (e.g., on your desktop) to compare side-by-side. You can even use tools like file compare (WinDiff, etc.), or simply load them in Notepad or another editor and scroll.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can attempt to find exactly how Leasey names those LeaseyText files (like their file name pattern), so you can locate them more reliably on *your* system. Do you want me to look up file-names too?"
