Windows will prevent you from touching that file. You could disable the pagefile, and then hope that when you re-enable it that it will be created where you want it. Or if you have another OS, you could try moving it from there. Except NTFS is not a 100% open systenm I'm not sure anything exists to defrag it from another OS.

TBH, I wouldn't bother. Theres not going to be much if any performance gain from moving it.
