Kazaa will use the same directory for all users. The best thing you can do is each time YOU use the program is move your XXX movies to a different directory. That's what I have been doing.
Can I suggest that maybe you switch over to Kazaa Lite version instead of Kazaa. Kazaa has spyware built in and is watching you. Kazaa Lite has the spyware removed. A program called Ad-Aware can let you see if you have spyware and help you remove it. It can be downloaded here. Ad-Aware

I don't know if you can install a duplicate of Kazaa or if it allows configuring it's default directory or not. Either shoud separate your files from hers.
If you can change directories in Kazaa, then do that when you use it and leve her stuff in the default directory.

Kazaa uses a standard folder on your computer's hard drive, as has already been stated. Regardless of user profiles, the program will continue to send any new files to that same folder.
If you wish to keep your files from appearing in her folder, you'll have to set it up manually, and it will have to be redone each and every time you use Kazaa. (Though she won't)
Simply leave the default directory, usually called My Shared Folder, and let your daughter keep her programs there.
Next, create another directory eleswhere on your hard drive, preferably somwhere you can keep an eye on its usage if you have any questions about your daughter snooping for it.
Now, each time you log in to Kazaa, simply click Tools, Options, Traffic, and select your new directory as the default.
Download whatever files you wish, and before closing the application, remember to switch the traffic back to the default, or else her files will go to your file as well. (Not to mention, if she looks in this window, it will show her the exact address of your special folder.)
She won't see any difference, except that she no longer has your files at her fingertips, but it'll be a pain in the ass for you to do this each and every time you log in/ out. Still, thats the price of privacy, if you wish to both be able to use Kazaa.
