Hi Norwin,  I can tell you how to do it in XP - it may or may not be the same in Vista.  It should surely be similar.  

Open the Control Panel window
Choose "System" (Properties)
Choose the Advanced (Tab)
Choose the top "Settings" button ("Visual effects,  ..., "virtual memory")
Choose the Advanced (Tab)

In this (Advanced) window, under the heading "Virtual Memory" notice your current "Total paging file size for all drives" - you may wish to use the "Maximum" number for your new page file.  Using a fixed size paging file (using the same size number for both Initial and Maximum) reduces fragmentation.

Choose the Change (button)

Highlight the drive where you want to put the paging file
Choose the radio button "Custom Size"

For Initial Size (MB): enter the total size you want for your paging file
For Maximum Size (MB): enter the same number here  
Choose the "Set" (button)

I can go no further without actually doing something on my own machine, but I imagine you have to click Apply or OK, or some such.  When you get back to the drive window....

Highlight the drive from which you wish to remove the page file
Choose the radio button "No paging file"
OK yourself out of the windows
