Actually, it would be 'nul', not 'null' - using 'null' will create a file in
the current directory with that name.

However...porting this to nul may be a mistake, though, as doing so will
make any prompts such as this completely invisible to the user:

    The password or user name is invalid for \\localhost\c$.

    Type the password for \\localhost\c$:

As well as this, you chould/should pipe the results of commands to
null

eggs-ample
net use g: \\server\share$ > null

In this way, you won't see the "The command completed successfully."
line. Instead, you could put in an echo command along the lines of
"Setting up Drive G: for Common Files" or whatever.
