Add system protected hidden folder NOT possible

[pstein]

I want to add the folder

D:\temp

(which is a hidden and system protected folder) to the exclude folders list in

options--->Indexes--->Exclude

Unfortunately when I click on "Add folder" this folder is NOT visible/selectable.

However files from this folder are found and listed in the result view.

As a temporary workaround I enabled "show hidden and system folders" in Win Explorer.
But this is rather uncomfortable and annoying user unfriendly.

So I suggest to extend Everything to list ALWAYS hidden and system protected folders in the "Add folders" selection box.

It is not possible to show hidden folders with the default Browse for folder dialog (when show hidden and system folders is disabled).

You will need to add the hidden folder by typing out the full path manually:
