Default prevent change in author

hi~
i'm teaching my class excel and the students have to save their homework
files to a network folder designated for them. i recently caught students
taking copies of their homework files and transfering them via thumb drives
to other students folders. the only reason i knew they did this was because i
looked at the author property in file-properties and saw that the original
author was not the user in whose folder it was in.
i have a feeling as soon as i confront the students about cheating they will
be looking for how i found out and a way around this. you can easily change
the author on a file and i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to prevent
this. is there a registry entry that can be edited so that the author box is
filled in automatically with the original user but can't be edited? any help
would be very appreciated.
