You could also leave the file on the thumb drive, but only use it for syncing. Put MLO on the computer with a local *.mlo file. Then sync to THUMBDRIVE:\stuff.mlo. Repeat on all other computers.

I would consider running local copies and leaving the USB stick behind. Your USB stick WILL stop working over time. It is inevitable that something will happen to it. If it's not critical data this is OK but since it is, you need to sync the .mlo file to an FTP site or run a utility to backs up your thumb drive every time you plug it in. That said, you should be able to find FTP space for a small file like .mlo for free. There are tons of services providing free ftp space. This way you can ditch your USB stick for this process, simply click F9 whenever you start MLO and you are done.
