I need to restore my IE favorites from a HD backup set - but don't know the
filename and default location where IE stores favorites.  Please advise -
thanks

Found my own answer:
Internet Explorer's favorites are stored within:
Home: Library: Preferences: Explorer: Favorites.html
   €      Safari's bookmarks are stored as:
Home: Library: Safari: Booksmarks.plist

OK, I was having the same issues...
I put my favorites into the folder following the path you described
below...
When I open IE it doesn't recognize them and continues to use the old
favs.
I did manage to import them, and it just sees my favorites as an html
page.

Any suggestions?
