According to:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490982.aspx

-- which describes command redirection operators for Windows XP -- '2>' is
correct syntax for redirecting std error on Windows XP:

'''
> ver
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
> del nonexistent >NUL
Could Not Find C:\Documents and Settings\adi\nonexistent
> del nonexistent 2>NUL
>
'''

The page:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742503.aspx

contains at the bottom example cmds that use the pattern '2>NUL' for Windows 2000.
