How to stop a cmd file from showing Network error messages

Error Message I want to remove:

I get this error when I run a code that runs a shortcut that's shared over network.

How can I stop cmd script from showing Network Errors like these, even if I know there is an error?

Solution 
  • @echo off
echo.
echo 1. Add
echo 2. Remove
echo.
set /p var= Type option number here - 
if %var%==1 (goto :add)
if %var%==2 (goto :remove)
if else (goto :EOF)

:add
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\ /v RestoreConnection /d 0
echo.
echo SUCESSFULLY ADDED!
timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul &exit

:remove
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\ /v RestoreConnection
echo.
echo SUCESSFULLY REMOVED!
timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul &exit

    This .bat script could come handy btw. Atleast it's easier than changing the registry manually. You can add and delete the value any time you want, so its convenient. Save this as a (.bat) file and use it...

    Thanks @FiddlingAway for giving reference for the script : )
