Are you logged in to the server's console using the same credentials as the CF service?
If the CF service is running as a different user, then it can't display a window in another user's session.

OS=Windows XP; CF version=CF8 Standard (licensed copy). <cfexecute name = "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"> </cfexecute> No error code, no security issue. I also try the notepad.exe with same outcome. What's the expected result for CFEXECUTE (last time I used it probably years ago...). Thanks.
