For Visual Studio, what does the option "Use in Build" mean and why is it set to YES by default?

If you go to project properties page and look under build events. I'm trying to compile the video game Half-Life on Visual Studio and I've never known this "Use in Build" feature exists. What happens when I turn it to "Yes" or "No"?

If you highlight the option you get a description for the option at the bottom of the window. You can also click the "?" and get (online) help on what the Build Events do:
