My point exactly.  The file has never been in web root until the tech at
the hosting company placed it there a few days ago.  The sole content of it
seems to turn detailed error messages.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Since it is a shared environment my assumption was that I would never
access to to CFIDE from the site.

It seems like a huge security hole to me to have any kind of configuration
file be world accessible, but I'll take your word for it.
