RE: Can't view files & folders ?
What do you mean by you can't view them? Do you get an error when you (double) click on them? Or don't you see anything at all in the right pane of Windows Explorer?

If you can't see anything, then there is probably nothing.

If something is there, The windows_live_id directory consists of two other, hidden, directories: 'real' and 'shadow'.

To access them you need to navigate to the windows_live_id directory and when you do have all those 'show hidden files' options enabled[°] you should see them in the right pane view, where you can double click on them.

[°]To see everything there is:
Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View tab:
    Enable: Display the contents of System Folders
    Enable: Hidden files and folders > Show hidden files and folders
    Disable: Hide extensions for known file types
    Disable: Hide protected operating system files
