Default How to prevent any one from opening my workbook

I understand that I cannot get protection from hackers and crackers. But I
want to protect it from regular office staff - if they come across this file,
they cannot open it.

I created a personal data workbook stored in my company network. I do not
want any one in the office to be able to open it and read it.
The "Protect" feature under the Tools does NOT prevent someone from
opening
and reading the data (unless I am doing something wrong!).
