Prevent Shortcuts from being Made

I have two questions. The main question is this: Is there a way to prevent users from making a shortcut to a database? I have my database split and I want users to copy the front end and paste it on their desktop. However, there is a high turnover rate among the people who will be using this database. As a result, I'm concerned that the instructions to copy and paste the database may not be passed along. I would like to avoid the possibility of someone making a shortcut to this database.

I would also like to prevent users from relocating the database by inadvertently dragging and dropping it in a new folder.

The only person who should be able to move the database or work directly in the master copy of the front end is the person designated at the "admin" in my Users table (that would be myself and one other person). Is any of this possible?
 
You're going to need to look at Windows Folder Security. This isn't something that can be handled at an MS Access level.
