As everyone else said, just limit the account, but that could cause problems if she wanted to install other programs like Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo etc...

Though that could be all pre-installed when the account is set up by the OP.

To be fair most p2p doesn't have any viral code in it, it's just some of the stuff thats shared that does.
Though morpheus and limewire in some of their earliest incarnations (Now defunct) used to be full of spyware.
It's definitely worth a try seeing if what you have done has actually blocked the software rather than just slowing it down but it is also worth noting that just because it doesn't work now that doesn't mean it can't be reconfigured by your daughter to work later on.
