Default How to back up .pst files when Outlook won't open

They are hidden files
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm
shows Vista default location

I have a corrupted Windows Vista and much of it is not operational at the
moment. I'm trying to backup all my Outlook files (contacts, calendar)
before I do a re-install on my Windows. I've tried to locate the .pst
files
with, so far, no success. Is there anyone that can talk me through this
process? I don't think there's any way I can receive help via email since
my
system is acting strangely (as I said most of my programs besides Explorer
won't even launch). When I go to control panel and try to click
Administrator it won't let me so I'm stuck there. How else can I get to
those .pst files and save them while I still have the chance? Please
reply
to the email in my profile if possible. Thanks.
