Yep.  Verbosity settings are stored in default.jcf int he enu directory
while your voice changes, etc. are stored either in in a file (whose
name escapes me for now) or in the VoiceProfiles directory in the
settings directory.

I apologise for my confusion about a file or folder.  I'm running a 16.0
beta on this machine and don't have any older versions currently
installed, so I can't check.  In 16.0, I see the voice settings are
stored in a direcotry called settings\VoiceProfiles.  However, I was
pretty certain that they are stored in a file with a name like
VoiceProfile.ini, but my memory may be faulty.

Hth,
Andrew.
