Prefetching on XP/2003

Hi

How does Prefetching work on XP/2003? I have seen it created .pf files
which are read on system boot and application loads … but I want to
know the exact kernel interactions which happen? i.e. which kernel
components are involved in the prefetching? How does it impact filter
drivers etc? If someone could point me to a technical note, it would
be very helpful.

Thanks

MM alone I think.
