Nothing - it will regenerate itself.

Is the pagefile related to profiles? cause i also have a problem with the
administrator profile. It uses all the time the default profile + whenever i
restart windows says it will make a new page file since none was found. When
i look for c:\pagefile.sys i don't see anything or if i search for
pagefile.sys
administrator profile. It uses all the time the default profile + whenever i
restart windows says it will make a new page file since none was found. When
i look for c:\pagefile.sys i don't see anything or if i search for
pagefile.sys

It's a hidden system file

i know it's a hidden file, but i have turned on the options to see the
operating system files + hidden files.
It says that it creates a 20Mb temporary page file, and when i try to set a
new size, it asks me to reboot, but no new pagefile is created.
I log on as administrator but it loads the default profile because there is
another problem (obviously) with the account.

The paging file is not related to any profile. Your problem might
be that your setting for the location of the paging file is incorrect
or that it points to a drive that has insufficient free space. Have
a look at Control Panel / System / Advanced / Performance
Options / Change, then make sure that there is adequate free
space on the selected drive.

Sounds like the "Everyone" group permissions were removed from the
%systemdrive% Make sure that the System account (NT Authority) has full
control of the %systemdrive% and or the drive you're trying to put the
pagefile on. My Computer|Drive|File|Properties|Security|Permissions
The system account (nt authority) is the operating system's account and
needs to have full control of the drive(s) the pagefile exists on. The
system account is included in the "Everyone" group.
You can also try restoring default permissions. This article may help.
