Set /p >nul? hide user input?

Question

When using set /p in batch or command prompt is there a way to not display the characters that the user is typing? could you use >nul in here?

Answer 1

No, adding ">nul" will simply cause the prompt to be thrown out.  Whatever the user types is still displayed.  I don't think there is a way to have a batch file not echo what the user types at a prompt.
