Does anyone know where the 96 Ford Windstar Fuel Filter is located?

Under the van, driver's side, pretty close to the fuel tank. You need special tools. I used "A/C and Fuel Line Disconnect Tool Set" by OEM tool co. part number 25052.

You can buy the plastic fuel / A/C line tools in a set of various sizes at most auto parts stores.
One side of your filter uses a plastic clip...which many (but not all) filters come with. You may be able to reuse the original.....
The other side of the fuel filter has a "redundant" metal clip.....and a crome connector that slides over the end of the fuel filter outlet. This is where the special tool is needed......to slide up inside the crome connector to release the clips inside.

Fuel filter on my '96 is in the pictures in the following link. The filter is located under the car, in front of the driver side rear wheel, on the inside of the frame member.
