Okay, I wanna have all the 6 computers at my house for my 10 housemates and I to log on to any computer with the same logon. I also want to share multiple different file locations with some of these housemates but not all.

Then you will have to have at least Windows Professional, and will need a license for multiple computers with a single disk (usually cheaper) and run the computers under a domain

A networked domain is the only way I know to do exactly what you want. However, I can't imagine why you want every computer to have the same password and update eachother, unless you're in a buisness

Well, that sounds like what I want. So is there a guide for that? I want to make it so that only I can change what people are allowed to see and stuff

Here is a guide that you may want to read up on: Basic Domain Setup - The PC Guide Discussion Forums
After you read up on that, here is a domain joining guide that may help: Joining Windows 7 to a Domain
If you still have questions, You might search google for it, or post a question here. I've never completely set up a domain myself, but I've joined some XP computers. I know that it is likely that for this set-up, you will need a separate computer that can store the data collected from all the other computers, called a server. You might google how to set up a server and what it would require. I recommend the server be left alone in a cool location and not used when you start it going.

I totally misunderstood your question.:D Yes, you will need to have at least a Windows 2000 Server or above and configure a Domain in your Network. If this is your first time installing a Server it might be a little complicated. Clients Operating Systems shd be at least Windows XP and above.

And I think I should revise what I said earlier. You do not need only windows 7 professional to run a server. If you are doing the server through windows 7, you need at least windows professional, but yes, you can get a server specific OS, etc. XP and windows 7 home and higher can all become "clients" on a server network, and most people stick to these OSes.

clients are the computers that send their information to the server computer, acting as a sort of main part, or tree, branshing out to give and gain from all the leaves or other computers in your network.

Now tell me if that analogy doesn't creep you out any. no? Just me then huh.
