Importing/Exporting FAvorites

I made the tragic mistake of having all of my favorites in MSN8, and now I can't export or import using the easy features in IE6 or Netscape 7.1. Any ideas as to how I can do this? Are my MSN8 favorites stored anywhere on my computer? I can't find them. I've tried all the help functions in IE6, MSN8, and N7.1 but none of them help. Any words of wisdom?

I believe, just will not swear on it, they are stored in one of the following folders
favcache.xml
favorites.xml
favthumb.dbx

However, after a little personal research, I found that msn did not provide a way to export favorites so I guess you better start adding them manually. I guess that was part of their security feature.

That bites

I can't even import from IE6 to Netscape. I really like Netscape now, and want to use it full time. I have so many favorites saved in IE6 and MSN that it will take me days to get them all over to Netscape manually.

Can you export your favorites from IE to a file and then import the file into Netscape?

Am I missing something here? Are your favorites not in your start menu?
If they are not...right click on the taskbar/properties/advanced then check display favorites/apply.
