Vista: Cannot select hidden files or directories

[html.mencken]

The current version of CCleaner v2.03.532 does not allow me to select hidden files or folders under Options > Include > Add File / Add Folder on Windows Vista Home Premium -- despite that fact that I am running CCleaner with elevated (i.e. administrator) privileges.

 

The only files or folders that are available in the \Users\ directory are

 

*) my own user directory

*) the 'Public' user directory

 

I would expect this behaviour while running CCleaner as standard user with UAC turned on, but once I elevate to administrator I should be able to select any file or folder on the system, i.e. both "normal hidden" files / folders as well as "super hidden" OS core files and folders.

 

What would be even better? A way to visually mark "super hidden" files in some way so that they can be easily distinguished from the "normal" hidden files in Vista.
