My question is, is there any other way of securing my wireless home network so that only myself has control over it?
nakedmolerat: With windows 8 - you can right click the network icon, properties, and untick the box to show password. Walla! You can see the network key.

Yes, go into your router and ENABLE MAC address whitelist.
I think OP meant that anyone that has access to his computer can easily 'uncover' the password for his network. He is in the opinion that the password should not be revealed - only ******

In a nutshell I put the password into my daughters laptop so she could get on the net. My son then wanted the password so his mate could access the net via my net work and I refused. He then went onto my daughters laptop and into the network settings page and checked the box that says show characters and viola.....he then gave the password to his mate.

This is not an issue with Microsoft or any other OS whatsoever.
