Do they all have the same login account? Username and pass?? If not, you will need to add the user accounts under Computer Management -> Local users and groups. If they are all the same, there is a tricky policy setting under the Admin Tools -> Local Security Policys, that is set to allow login shares from the Guest Account. You will need to change it to allow logins based on individial login accounts (There are only two options). “Local Policies” – “Security Options”
"Network Access: Force network logons using local accounts to authenticate as Guest" "Enabled"
**Change the above setting**
