First, you need to define a fixed space for the pagefile, say for example 1GB. Otherwise the file will shrink/grow as you starts to use therefore making it a little messy to manage.

Second, you need to have Norton Utility (As far as I know), run Speed Disk and select the option to place the pagefile in the front. Then execute the optimization and wait for it to finish. (Might take several hours if you have a high capacity HDD)

Also, you might want to check out tips on how to optimize your pagefile here. There is also a tip on the page on how to manually move the pagefile but I prefer not to do something dangerous with Regedit.exe
