Am I Secure?

I an new to wireless.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 and a 6000. Both run Windows XP home, and have wireless cards that I use while on campus. But, while home, I noticed that I caught the (Linksys) wireless signal of a neighbor's desktop across the street. I could read all of his files.

My question is, can he, therefore, 'see' me and read all of my files?

Thank you.
