Pagefile.sys - Can we choose location?

[Guest]

Would like to have the "Pagefile.sys" file be located other than ("%DriveLetter_root\pagefile.sys") or C:\pagefile.sys. Can this be done? Reason; we are using Dynamic Disk & mount a partition to appear as a NTFS folder, example : C:\windows\temp. We can have all "temp" files written here, and deleted as well. The dynamic disk partition is 2 GB, and we'd rather have it not show to the end users as a "D:\" drive appear when they use any disk utilities.
We use Ghost, and would like to have this as part of our images
Any thoughts or ideas? Greatfully appreciated

The "Pagefile.sys" file should remain on the same partition
as the Windows XP installation. Why are you going to use
a Dynamic Disk?
