windows 8 Swap file and Page file

[News Bot]

Ok, i've installed Windows 8 Pro. Until now, I've got the habit of moving the pagefile.sys to a secondary HDD, on a dedicated partition. It was easy to move it.

Now in 8 a new file - swapfile.sys is present for use with Metro Apps. But there is no setting to allow it to be moved to another HDD. It's linked to the pagefile.sys only when you disabled this one, it will dissapear too, but if you move this one, the swapfile.sys still remains on the C:

Any ideea of how to move also this one ? My main "HDD" is now an SSD, and I don't want this file here, I want to move it on the dedicated partition of an VelociRaptor HDD. For the moment I've disabled them, but I have 2 games and one software wich don't work unless I have pagefile.
