Windows Move postgres temp folders onto faster disks

Remove original folder (in this case d:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\data\base\pgsql_tmp)

mkdir c:\temp\psql_tmp

Give "network service" full access to the folder

Create a symlink

mklink /D  "d:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\data\base\pgsql_tmp" c:\temp\pgsql_tmp
