Dave,
You might also try a different approach to naming the uploaded files.
If possible, have your webcam upload the images with a unique filename.
For example, instead of uploading as "thispic.jpg", append a timestamp,
as in "thispic1405.jpg". Your CF template that displays the image could
do a CFDIRECTORY using a filter of "thispic*.jpg", sort by date
(descending), and then select the latest image. Clean out the directory
as needed. Definitely a bit more work, but you wouldn't have to disable
anything in IIS.
