Vista Home Premium.

Where can I find a log file, if I'd like to find out, if someone else has
logged in or even tried to log in to my computer - home computer, no
LAN/server connection. Only ADSL.

Hi,

It'd be in the Event Viewer under Windows Logs\Security if you have the
option to record logons enabled.

There is no Security-folder under Windows Logs. Where can I enable it?

Are you looking at the Event Viewer or at Windows Explorer? You need to be
in the former, the security log is a default.
