Hi!! This person has a lot of good tips on securing your wireless network..... Link Removed I'd want to transfer disk files using encryption, I don't think you can encrypt on a Home Premium. (You might want to check.)

If you open up the Help and support in the Vista menu, and type in the search box "Setting up a home network", it will tell you very precisely, everything you need to know.
Maybe you will find it a little too detailed, but the help and support function is an absolute goldmine and will answer most of the questions which appear on sites.
