This action cannot be completed because the another program is busy. Choose switch to activate the busy program and correct the problem.

There is a much simpler method that I found on the net some time back and have been using very effectively.

Copy the code below and save it as a .bat file. Copy this file on to the USB drive / external hard drive. When you run it for the first time, it creates a folder called locker. You can copy the files you want to hide / restrict on to this folder. The next time you run the file it hides the folder after confirmation. Everytime you want to access files, you need to enter your password, and running the file toggles the accessiblity of the folder on and off.
The default password is password, and can be changed by changing this particular word in the .bat file.

Try it – its good.

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p “cho=>”
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
attrib +h +s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p “pass=>”
if NOT %pass%==password goto FAIL
attrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Hello guys,
If you format your pen drive to NTFS be careful when you remove. If you remove without stopping it your data will be lost !

Note!. for enabling NTFS format in pen drive you should, first of all active it from “Device Manager”. Don’t forget (:
