How to move pagefile

I would like to move my pagefile in W2K to another drive. I have 512 MB RAM and am looking to create a 768MB pagefile. I have done some reading on the subject and it was suggested that some of the page file remain on the system partition. How is that possible?
All suggestions welcome.
 
There's no requirement as to which drive holds the pagefile, leaving one on the system partition is just for memory dumps which you should probably disable anyway since most people don't have the tools or knowledge to use them to debug a BSOD.
 
So I can just move it and windows will somehow find it or do I have to create a shortcut or something like that?
 
Right-click on My Computer, Properties. Advanced tab -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Change (down the bottom).

Select a drive, change to No Paging File, hit Set, then select a different drive and set it to either Custom Size or System Managed Size (recommended). Hit Set again, OK a few times, reboot.

Bang- pagefile has been moved. And no, it shouldn't leave anything behind on the drive you moved it from, as long as you set No Paging File for that drive.

Hope this helps!
