one way to do this would be to enable the guest account and give it all
necessary permissions.
The better way is to maintain identical user account/password structures on
each system or create accounts on the servers ony and use User Accounts in
Control Panel, and selecting Managing my Network passwords in the left
frame. Then you enter the server you want to access together with an
appropriate username and password
