I indeed can, but I dont get why expandpath('/') returns something
completely different than expandpath('.') especially if, like you said, CF
doesn't know anything about my IIS setup...I guess "IIS Setup" was a bad term to use. The site's root directory then... ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

From the docs: "To resolve a path, this function uses virtual mappings that are defined in the ColdFusion Administrator. This function does not reliably use virtual mappings that are defined in IIS, Apache, or other web servers." If you can, you might want to set your root mapping ("/") to correspond to your web root directory.
