used IIS to set that up.
But if you enter mydomain.com/badfilename.cfm, I get a generic CF-style

There is a field in the cfadmin where you can enter a custom 404 for CFM

When I try to change this from the 404.cfm, I get an error that whatever
file
I try to specify doesn't exist. I assume I can find the default 404.cfm,

Dunno about restarting, but this does look like a weird sentence. Mine says:

I'm using the Professional version of CFMX 6.1. Does this matter? Would I
need to restart the CF Service?
Under Settings and Missing Template Handler, I did as Phillip suggested

I had to "cycle" the setting in cfadmin for the missing template handler,
(by setting to the old default, saving, setting it to the new default again)
for it to take in one of my sites.
Don't know if that will work for you too, but it's worth a shot.

Also, it's worth noting, that if you have functions (for navigation, say)
on the 404 page, they themselves will throw 404s and include the
default 404 handler instead of the custom one.
Try a plain html 404.cfm file first, before doing anything fancy.

We have a winner! Yes, the .cfm template I was trying to call for my custom
404 was too fancy. Basically it included the same header file as the normal
site. This header has lots of javascript for DHTML drop down menus and such.
Thanks Denny. And thanks to everyone patiently trying to help.

To get around that issue, I had my 404 page dump all the cgi variables into
a db table, and then cflocate itself over to a "missing.cfm".
