Setup a 'Canary' file on your PC to alert you to improper access

If you're paranoid about someone getting into your home PC, and especially on a small business PC, the first part of this is a simple way to setup honeypot files and folders, to send you an email alert if someone tries to open it.
The second part is a lot more techie, but more useful. You can setup your PC so opening or copying a specific file or folder will turn off all network devices and shut down the PC.
Might stick a few canary folders on my wife's laptop, since that's the one PC in the house I can't securely lock down.
