What do you mean, "something is erasing my prefetch files"? How would you
know?

Do you mean they are literally being erased off the disk? Or from memory?

This is a genuine question; I've no idea how to see what files have been
prefetched.

The prefetch files are located in the following folder on your boot
disk....... C:Windows\prefetch
Sometime deleting these files will help to flush out files that are no
longer used and make the prefetch quicker.

Fascinating! Thanks. Is there somewhere I can learn more about these
files? How they are used, if/how they are related to Superfetch, etc?

Sorry to the OP, though, for not helping.
