First Parameter needed is “path to the shape file (OGR data source
name)”
Suppose my shape file data is in location “C:\world_factbk”
So I have given the path C:\world_factbk in OGR Datasource name box.

Hello,
at first - when reporting a problem, please include full command with
all of it's parameters. Use copy/paste to transfer also all typos You
may have.
Second - double check that there is a file named
C:/world_factbk/world_factbk and You can read it. I suppose You have
read manual where shapefile import example is given. And if You use
projection override option, are Your data in same projection as
current location?

Documentation is Your friend.
Maris.
