How about using CFCATCH and CFTRY in your application?
<cftry>
<cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="FileFildName
destination="FileServerPath\" nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE" accept="image/gif">
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfset ErrMsg = 'You have entered an invalid file type. The only allowed
file types are .jpg and .gif'>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfif LEN('ErrMsg')>
<cfoutput>
#ErrMsg#
<cfabort>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
