Look into File Permissions.. NTFS file permissions. Look into File
Security.
You could make it where only one user, one group, etc has access to this
file. It could be stored anywhere you wanted as long as you can set the
NTFS file permissions on it. Either the file or directory would need to
have the permissions changed on it.
