What is C:\System Volume Information\tracking.log in XP pro for?

[peto]

Open up regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and change "ShowSuperHidden" from 0 to 1. This will show system files. So I was looking around at the system files and I find C:\System Volume Information\tracking.log. I'm curious as to what it's for, anyone know?

Can you open it up?

Yes, after messing with permissions, but it's gibberish.

Oh, ok. Well it's only taking up 20k, so what the hell.
