It's fairly common practice to not place your applications in the default locations.
Also, depending on your application makeup, you may want to consider something like this: <drive>\mysites\www.mysite.com\webroot Point IIS to the webroot directory and store site related files that you don't want to be web accessible outside of the webroot, perhaps in a directory like this: <drive>\mysites\www.mysite.com\myfiles Just some random thoughts.

I don't think you need a book Rick, just do this: 1. Put your web root wherever you please. 2. In IIS, set the home directory for this web site to this folder 3. Use IIS' virtual directory mapping to map the CFIDE and JRunScripts folders -- wherever they were installed -- to your web site's root. Thats all there is to it. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
