Do not type the "cmd.exe /c" part. This will run a new instance of "cmd"
(the Windows command-line console); "\c" means "run the following
command"... So you are basically starting a new console, changing the
code page within that new console, and exiting back to your original
console.
Instead, once you have a command prompt, use "chcp 1252" to change the
code page of the Windows console to match the code page "psql" expects
from Windows. Then you can run "psql" without the warning. You will have
to do this each time you open a new command line console, before running
"psql", as far as I can tell.
