Use <cfdirectory> which returns a query set, then look at
queryname.recordcount, which returns the number of entries in the
directory, including subdirectories. To count just the files, you'd loop
over the query and check the column named "type" as in:
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="c:\windows" name="dir">
<cfset filecount = 0>
<cfloop query="dir">
<cfif dir.type = "file">
<cfset filecount = filecount + 1>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>Number of files: #filecount#</cfoutput>
