prefetch folder

this probably is not a Norton issue, but since it has to do with security I'll take a shot at posting here

 

NAV2009

Windows Vista OS

Windows firewall

 

 

Can you delete the prefetch folder and its contents without mucking up security of the OS?

 

Also noticed in a subfolder in the prefetch folder a folder titled readyBoot. It had an item Trace1.fx

 

I googled this trace1.fx and only found confusion. Can this item be deleted too?
