In clean installation of Windows you can find it under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
In newer versions of Windows, try: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
And make sure the folders are not invisible.
I found it in the same location.. its protected but, I got there with some effort: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys\

C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys is probably the 'correct' location, while the documents and settings path is probably for application compatibility.– lowlevelFeb 1, 2011 at 16:55

I am assuming you are referring to the machine keys in the machine.config file, in that case it depends on what version of the .NET framework you want, it should be in the default location, for example .NET 4.0:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
