I run Windows XP, Outlook 2002. As part of weekly backup of critical files to
an external hard drive, I want to include Outlook Address Book and Contact
List. What are the file names/locations of the Address Book and Contact List.

Neither exists. All Outlook Data is in a single file.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
