When FAT32 came out, Microsoft had to lock out disk utilities that
were FAT32 unaware, to prevent corruption. They introduced a new
command-line command called LOCK (maybe one named UNLOCK also, not
sure), which will tell the system to permit the subsequent programs to
have direct access to the disk.
They seem to have modified it in more recent versions to simply give a
disturbing warning. Or maybe it's simply a matter of most of the
utilities being upgraded to recognize FAT32 and long file names.
