A process called NMIndexStoreSvr.exe was creating the lucene-9280b370d1038bf9b464c630bb1fed8c-commit.LOCK file in my Temp folder.
NMIndexStoreSvr.exe is a Nero Home process and seems to be unnecessary for any functionality. Because of quick flashing of this file, I couldn't use the Ctrl+A command to select all the files and press Shift+Del.
So I started the Windows Task Manager, went to the Processes tab and found out that the NMIndexStoreSvr.exe process was using about 25% of my CPU resource and was creating the lucene temporary file.
When I killed the NMIndexStoreSvr.exe process the lucene file stopped appearing in my Temp folder.
The NMIndexStoreSvr.exe file was located (at least for me) in the following folder:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe
To find the file, open Task Manager, click on the Processes tab, right-click on the NMIndexStoreSvr.exe process and select the "Open File Location" option which will take you directly to where the .exe file is located.
I renamed this file to something else and the lucene file stopped appearing in my Temp folder.
Does it come back even after rebooting? Try using Unlocker to see what process has it locked, and/or ProcessMonitor to see what process recreates it.
