What is Prefetch!!? in WinXP

Hi,

Can anyone here give me some idea about .PF files. These files are present
in "C:\Windows\Prefetch" folder. And titles of the files are usualy various
application names installed in one's computer. These files genrate daily
whenever you used any application on the machine.

Please help...

OS: WinXP Prof (SP2)

Thanks,
