This warning is NOT silly. By mounting the root of your system drive in DOSBox, you're giving programs running in DOSBox full access to the drive.
Guess what happens if you're running on an admin account and something tries to write to C:\Windows...
Yeah, NOT fun at all.

That's why you should always mount a subdirectory on your drive (this also helps to keep the games organized - you'll understand the point when you reach ~100 titles in your collection).
