I want to share my wireless internet connection with my neighbor, but I want him to have a completely seperate SSID and I want to ensure he cant get gain access to my files or what not. How would I go about doing this?

You cant give him a seperate ssid! You can however make sure file sharing is disabled or removed in network properties on your PC.

You cant have him on a different SSID unless you build a different network. Rather tricky. You could go ahead and share the same SSID but by using a password on your pc you will automatically block access to everything on it. Your neighbour will see your pc on the network but he cant connect to it without a password.
Make sure you change the default administrator account to something other than the default of Administrator. Not a lot of people know this anyway but oops they do now.

Well the best idea I could give you is get a router that isolates wireless users from local LAN.
Many will do this AirEpoch has one (they call it a wireless gateway) that even has radius built in so that only authorized users in the database can connect, it isolates even the wireless users from each other so they see absolutely nothing but themselves.
Here are the details from one site.. others sell it also so check around

Not cheap but well worth it.
