Importing Windows Explorer Favorites

I have a user in my office that wants to take his MS Explorer(v5.50) Favorites from his Windows 2000 computer at the office and import them into his new iMac laptop at home which has MacOSX. Can someone clue me in on how I can help this user?

I didn't ask him what browser he is using, but, I'm guessing it is whatever the default browser is that comes with MacOSX.

If that is not Explorer, please feel free to give feedback (e.g. you recommend I have him install MS Explorer for the Mac) if that is easier. I understand his iMac laptop does not have a floppy drive. I'm not sure if it has a CD/DVD drive.

if you locate the actual favorite.url files on the PC and transfer them to the Mac. You can drag the .url file into an open IE window and they will reveal the link they are supposed to go to. Using the Explorer Bar ® 's Favorites tab you can drag the text into this area to create favorites. This is a pain and time consumming but if your favorites are that important this is also a way to transfer them.
