Securing XML files

I want to have a folder with XML files that I don't want to be publically
accessible but I want my application to be able to read. My initial thoughts
are to stick the files outside the web tree but IIS 6 doesn't allow allow
parent path with server mappath. I don't want to enable it but I don't want
semi-hardcoded paths either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
