Alright gentlemen, I think I have it figured out now. I do remember that CF looks in custom tag paths, but that was when I was using components with application.cfm and my legacy code.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/buildi12.htm #4 reads "Directories specified on Custom Tag Paths page of the Administrator" That said, I'm ready to move on to doing it the right way with Application.cfc. I want to specify my components using a FQDN such as: edu.evansville.applybeta.package.component My components are located at: E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components I would then have the following directory structure: E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\edu E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\edu\evansvill e E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\edu\evansvill e\applybeta\ and so on... Should I: * Create a "/" mapping to "E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\edu" * Create a "/edu.evansville.applybeta" mapping to E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\edu\evansvill e\applybeta\ What is the most accepted method for mapping in this manner? I certainly appreciate your help with clarifying this for me.

You'll want to use a standard cf mapping: this.mapping['/Components'] = 'c:\Inetpub\componentpath\'; Then ref that path (/Components) in your code.
