If the purpose of this file is a security measure where you can store some info then the approach is flawed from the get-go. If this is the purpose then a better solution would be to encrypt the file.

If you don't want the file to be copied to another computer then use something unique to that computer as part of the encrytion key, like the hdd serial number or the MAC address of the NIC. Now even if the file is found and copied it cannot be properly decrypted and matched on the new computer becuase the hardware would not match the decryption key. Or am I on the wrong track :)
