A P2P file contains a shortcut to a file. It is used by FolderShare, a Windows Live synchronizing service. The file stores a reference to a specific file. It is used in place of the actual file. By double-clicking a P2P file within FolderShare, a file on another device would download to your computer. FolderShare was replaced by Windows Live Sync. To open, just doubleclick the P2P file icon. If the system supports the file type, it should open. Make sure FolderShare is installed. Most applications create associations during installation.
Programs that can open P2P files are FolderShare and Cimagraphi. P2P files serve as references to actual files being synchronized. To open an unknown P2P file, right-click and choose an application. You can also display it directly in a browser. Just drag and drop the file onto the window.
The P2P format was created by Microsoft for Live Mesh. Tools to work with P2P files are file openers, converters, viewers and editors. If a P2P file does not open, the required software may not be installed. Download and install a P2P supporting application. You can also associate the extension to software in the Windows Registry. Many files contain only text, which can be viewed across applications.
