There's an excellent little Win32 command-line tool called 'ftbab.exe' (Favourites To Bookmarks And Back) that'll do what you seem to be needing. Can't remember where I got it, but a few minutes on Google should be enough. I've been using it for years, to generate regularly a bookmark file from a favourites directory I used when browsing with IE.
This seems a bit off-topic for the list, but sionce this tool might make for a smoother Win -> Linux transition...
