Set the code page by entering cmd.exe /c chcp 1252. (1252 is a code page that is appropriate for German; replace it with your value.) If you are using Cygwin, you can put this command in /etc/profile.
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.
