NMIndexStoreSvr.exe was creating a flashing temporary file lucene-9280b370d1038bf9b464c630bb1fed8c-commit.LOCK in my Temp folder. Because of quick disappearance and reappearance of this file, I coudn't use the Ctrl-A command to select all the files and press Shift-Del. So I started the Windows Task Manager in Windows 7 Basic OS and clicked on the Processes tab and found out that this file NMIndexStoreSvr.exe was using about 25% of my CPU sources and was creating the temporary file. I renamed this file to something else and the "lucene" file stopped appearing in my Temp folder. Good luck!

I did not choose to install Scout, but the indexing service runs anyway. I disabled the service (services.msc, NMIndexingService) and ran this to unregister the DLL: regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll" (note that on the web page in the link below, the '\' are missing before \Ahead\Lib\Media...
