Cleanup of Downloads folder not offered #20

Hi Belim

I found out about Cleanmgr+ when faced with the need to preview the files suggested for deletion in the Downloads folder: https://answers.microsoft.com/threadauth/dea479cd-3d6d-4060-8c8c-a2e83775ed27/messages/458b69fe-00b3-4cf9-9a5b-53155d1879cb

However, when running Cleanmgr+ as administrator (or otherwise) the option to delete anything from the Downloads folder is not offered at all.

A thing to note is that the Downloads folder in this case is not in its default location, therefore %homepath%\Downloads and %username%\Downloads do not work — hence it'd might make more sense to use something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27460275/get-the-windows-download-folders-path-download-shell-folder-in-a-batch-file

From reading here, I was expecting to see the Downloads folder among the places being offered but because in fact I didn't that's why I made the thought above.

P.S. In an effort to get comparison results, I've also tried running Burnbytes as an administrator — but unfortunately that app did not work at all (I'm opening a separate issue there).
