What OS? If it indeed shows as "None" for drive C in the settings dialog,  
you should be able to do "attrib -s -h c:\pagefile.sys", followed by "del  
c:\pagefile.sys" (or just hit 'Del' in Explorer), at least in XP. In  
Vista/Win7 you might have to take ownership of the file first.

You must of course also reboot after changing page file settings.

Is the new page file located on a drive that requires a special driver? If  
so, Windows might decide to use a page file on C anyway because the paging  
system is initialised very early in the boot process.
