Subject: [Thinkpad] OT: Removing C:\pagefile.sys

Sorry for the Off Topic (ie: Not ThinkPad specific) but this is the
best
resource this UNIX bigot and Windows neophyte has . . .

  G41 2886-5TU - Mobile Pentium 4 532 - 3.06 Ghz - 1 Mb L2 Cache
  2 Gb RAM - 80 Gb Toshiba 5400rpm HDD

My C:\pagefile.sys is size 2,087,340 KB, and I wanted to recover that
HDD
space. I have a WD Passport drive as E:\, and I've done everything I
can
learn to do, via HELP on my system, M$ Help, and Google on the
InterNet to
move my PAGEFILE from C:\ to E:\.

Theoretically, I have it setup so now, but the pagefile on C:\ is
still
the same size, and it can't be deleted (file busy, used by a program),
and the pagefile on E:\ is still size 0 (maybe because I'm not paging)
but
it's set to be the same size as the one on C:\ had been set.

I tried removing both pagefile.sys files and both give the same error.
I
tried in Safe Mode with similar results.

The UNIX bigot has UWIN installed on his system, and using it to view
the
permissions on C:\pagefile.sys he sees --- --- ---, which he can't
change
for the same (file busy) reasons.

How do I recover this HDD space on my C: drive ? ? ?
