Just to be clear, you've created the folder named d:\dosbox-0.73\mount?

doesn't matter actually where it is, but I found it tidier to keep all the dos stuff in one place, so I just created a subfolder in the dosbox installation directory. The switch "-freesize 2048" was needed for one game that was complaining about insufficient diskspace when I installed it... basically it'll tell dosbox that the folder you mount as a drive has 2048 MB free

I'll try to walk you through this:

1. create a folder in Windows where you want to install your dos games to, like you written in your first post a folder named "dosprogs" on drive C: (c:\dosprogs)
2. make that folder your c drive in dosbox with the mount command: mount c c:\dosprogs

That's all there is to it... I'd recommend to put that mount command in the autoexec section (all the way down) in dosbox.conf, then save it.
Start Dosbox, now you should have a mounted c: drive
