Here's a good one that I've been using a lot lately when setting up iBooks. IE users can copy their existing Favorites.html file from other Macs and bring them into IE for Mac OS X. The path is: Users --> "Your Name" --> Library --> Preferences --> Explorer You can bring over your Scrapbook too if you want.

  Incidentally, the format of the Internet Explorer bookmarks under Macs is also the format of the Mozilla/Netscape and iCab bookmarks. If you wanted to sync up all your bookmarks, you could easily take the Favorites.html file from IE, rename it to bookmarks.html and throw it in your Mozilla/Netscape preference folder. Mozilla's folder is stored is ~/Library/Mozilla/. Likewise, you can rename it Hotlist.html and throw it in iCab: ~/Library/Preferences/iCab/.

  To truly keep them all "synchronized," here's what I do.
  Using IE as an exampe, take the IE Favorites.html file and make an alias of it. Rename the alias to bookmarks.html and throw it in your Mozilla/Netscape preference folder. Make another alias of IE's Favorites.html file, rename it Hotlist.html and stick it in the iCab preferences folder. Now they're all using the same file. Any new bookmarks you make in one app will appear in all the other apps.
