So what is the consensus for how to give this instruction? I still would just lean towards saying "might be hidden" and leave it up to the user to get Windows support for that.
I'd say the instruction should be "Open the Explorer and go to %APPDATA%\inkscape". What's your reason to hide that information from users?

I believe that just putting %APPDATA% into the path field of a file manager window will get you to the right folder for the current user.
Any chance we could get confirmation that this works even if AppData itself is hidden?
I usually prefer to provide users with this information (pasting '%APPDATA%\inkscape' (without the quotes) into the address bar of Explorer to open Inkscape's user profile folder) because %APPDATA% works independent of the installed Windows version, whereas the actual location has changed, IIRC beginning with Vista (?).
And is the information on this page still accurate? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#Default_values
