Sure thing!

Open Notepad as an administrator

Open the following file:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

(note: there is no extension)

In that file, you can override DNS lookups. Use the in-file help and examples to list each scripting domain name to 127.0.0.1. This is the "loopback" IP address that basically means "back to myself."

It will allow those scripting commands to find a "valid" server but not the script files, so there's nothing to run and nothing to error.

Old DNS entries may be cached. If this doesn't work as soon as you save the hosts file, then open a command line as an administrator and type the following:

ipconfig /flushdns

This will clear any cached DNS entries and force your computer to use what's in the hosts file first.
