-The "new data folder" is the folder where the **postgresql.conf** file now resides. It is whatever the new name of the 'pgsql\data' folder is. +The 'new data folder' is whatever the new name of the 'pgsql\data' folder is. It is //not// the name of the folder //containing// the new data folder, but the name of the new data folder itself. A simple way to tell this is that the "new data folder" is the path of the folder where the **postgresql.conf** file now resides. So, if your 'postgresql.conf' file is in the 'd:\vpop3data\data' folder, you should specify '' -D "d:\vpop3data\data" '' in the above command. 
-It is //not// the name of the folder //containing// the new data folder, but the name of the new data folder itself.+
