You can enable auditing of object access in Local Security Policy
[secpol.msc] and then configure auditing on folders to see who accesses a
file [not a user friendy process by a long shot] but you can not tell who
copied a file since that is a write operation to another computer in your
case. Permissions can be modified to restrict access to specific users and
groups though administrators can always gain access to non encrypted files.
On a Windows 2000 computer EFS can be used to encrypt non system files
though if you are not the only administrator of your computer then even that
may not be completely safe since an administrator could configure himself to
be a Recovery Agent on your computer. Do not attempt using EFS unless you
read all about it and know how to backup/restore your EFS private key to a
password protected .pfx file or you could lose permanent access to your
files if your EFS private key is lost, overwritten, or becomes corrupted.
