Determine shortcut / directly opening file?

Is it possible for access to have vba code that will determine if the
user has opened the database through a shortcut (such as on their
desktop) or directly opened the database (navigating to where it is
located)?

The users are creating shortcuts on their desktop and do not understand
where the file is actually located. This brings problems later on,
especially when the shortcuts disappear, or the user is temporarily
located on another computer. Ideally I'd like to code the database
to have a startup form that detects if it is opened from a shortcut and
tells the user the network path, and closes the database... Forcing
them to understand how to navigate the network.
