How to Exclude C:\$WINDOWS Folder

[beau]

I've excluded a number of folders from Everything's search, but . . .
. . . Options > Indexes > Exclude > Add Folder, doesn't list the C:\$WINDOWS folder, so I'm getting that folder listed in my Everything searches.

How can I exclude the C:\$WINDOWS folder?

That's kind of an odd name, nonetheless I don't see why it couldn't be excluded?

I created, then excluded, C:\TMP\SAL801.tmp\$WINDOWS, & it excluded just fine.

What version of Everything?
Anything "special" about that directory? Odd attributes or something like that?

Thanks therub your reply made me go back to the Exclude option and I spied the check boxes for "Exclude hidden files and folders" and "exclude system files and folders", don't know how I missed 'em before but when checked they take out the C:\$WINDOWS folder from searches
