Also I have an old Windows XP Laptop for backup/occasional use etc.
To my knowledge, there is currently no default way of doing that at this time.
I believe you would need some intrusion software installed on your computer, maybe Symantec Endpoint Protection, or any Intrusion Detection software that would monitor connection of USB devices. You would also have to configure it to log it.
As for seeing what files were copied, that is difficult without another sort of logging program, but I have not investigated far enough to know which ones you can look into to do such a thing at this time.

When you say 'protect your data'... Consider this.
One - If this is a computer in a corporate environment, always lock your station when you walk away from it. You do this with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. It is highly recommended as you are held responsible for whatever happens under your login.
Two - Medium to Large corporation enterprises with managed AV support should have intrusion protection measures in place to prevent that. For home situations, you just have to make sure no one can access your machine without knowledge, which includes putting a password protection on it.
Three - Consider using Bitlocker if you are on Windows 7 Ultimate or encryption based software to secure your data. Drawback to this, is that by doing so, you can potentially lock yourself out of your own data depending on the encryption method and if your computer decides to go boom on you.

In a home environment, the simple way to protect against this is to password your User account, then enable the Guest account for others to use. Or create them a standard user account without sharing your files.
Files you want to keep private can be zipped up and passworded using SevenZip. Recycle the original.
