How do I merge the favourites menu?

I have 3 computers on our home network, all XP and IE7

Using a memory stick how can I merge the 3 favourites menu's so they are all the same, with out losing any existing links.

Update:

I was concerned that they would overwrite rather than merge. eg the popup file already exists do you want to replave it? if you click no what happens?

    Internet Explorer? On EACH computer, Go to File, Import and Export. Choose export,then favorites. Save to your memory stick. Then, on the other two computers go to File, import and export, and IMPORT the file from the memory stick.

    The favorites for Internet explorer are stored in a folder called C:\Documents and Settings\%User_Profile\Favorites where %User_Profile is the name of the user that you need the favorites from. You can copy these directories to the memory stick and have them all in the same folder, then copy them back and you will have all 3 the same.

    Favoritis is a folder in

    C:\Documents and Settings\%User name%\Favorites

    So just copy it from 3 places to USB stick and thats all.
