MSHome is just a workgroup name. You can change
the machines to some other workgroup name.
If you disable the Guest account on the machines, then
only accounts you have defined within the machines will
be able to access the machines (unless someone logged
into the machines facilitates the access, such as by running
infected/pestware downloads).
