One option is to create a limited access account for the P2P software to run under, 
then deny it access to anything except the folder your shared files are in.

1) Create a "Guest" account with a strong password (typically 10 characters, no birthdays 
or the like)
2) Add the new user account to the P2P folder
3) Right-Click the P2P program and choose "Run As"
4) Select the "The Following User" option
5) Enter the username and password you created
6) Click "OK"

** The reason you create a "Guest" account is because "Guest" doesn't show up on 
any permissions by default. Typically "Users", "Administrators" and "System" do...

** Just for safety's sake, you can check the permissions on IExplore.exe (Internet 
Explorer) and remove the user account if it shows up there.

** If you open Task Manager and check "Show processes from all users", you should 
see your P2P running under the new account
