Who needs a stinking page file? ;)
Turn it off, delete it and be done with it. I have 8 gb ram on my lappy and 4gb on an older optiplex, never an issue.

Ironically it's like the page file moves. When I restart it is on the C: drive alone and it's exactly like I never made any adjustments at all :confused:

Oh, it's a Protected Operating System file so those files have to be unhidden first.
Then it most likely will show on the root C: drive.
If it's not in use then OP should be able to delete it and...

As long as the OP has enough ram to be able to.
OP: How much ram do you have?
I certainly am curious as to why the pagefile keeps resetting itself, almost like the result of a virus, only a virus...

Can you delete the one on the C: drive? If the system is set to use the one on the D: drive then it should allow you to delete the one on the C: drive. If it's in use, then it will not let you.

No, I disable the one on the C drive so it goes away. But on reboot it comes back. It's bizarre right?

Completely disable the pagefile, restart, then re-enable it on D: and restart again.
If it still moves back to C: try that again and disable system restore before you restart.
