A few Ubuntu / Windows questions...

I have a desktop running XP sp3 dual boot with Ubuntu 9.04.
A laptop running Vista
A laptop running Ubuntu 9.04.
The desktop has a printer attached.

How do I go about starting a home network to enable file-sharing between all computers and all operating systems?
I would also like to be able to print from the laptops without having to physically connect them etc.

On my desktop I run Disk keeper for defragging. Since I installed Ubuntu (Used the guided partitioner and allocated 80gigs) I have noticed the xp needs defragging quite often. I am hardly using xp now except for games. How can this be?

how would I go about uninstalling Ubuntu and allocating the entire hard drive to windows again should I wish to?

I am not very au-fais with Linux at the moment and have decided to take the plunge and immerse myself. As such, my tech knowledge is very basic.

All computers connect to the net wirelessly via a Sky BB netgear router with WPA encryption.

Thanks in anticipation.
