Caution message in my Admin section

After installing Zen Cart 1.3.9 and when I entered in the Admin section using my User name and Password I received the caution at the top.
“CAUTION: Your /admin/ foldername should be renamed to something less common, to prevent unauthorized access.”

Now in the Admin folder there are three folders named “backups”, “images” and “includes” do I have to rename them? Could not understand what about the caution is.

Thanks

Re: Caution message in my Admin section

The idea is to rename the 'admin' folder to make it more difficult for hackers:
