I bet what happened here is this..
The website you downloaded the document from is using cold fusion.
The developer didn't specify the correct extension for the document. so
basically you have a file that's NOT a coldfusion document BUT DOES have the
.cfm extension.
The best thing to do is
a) look at the website and see what type of file you downloaded, and then
rename the extension of the file
e.g. you downloaded abc.cfm and is a PDF file. Rename it abc.pdf., and
open it.
b) if you can't see what type of doc you have, you can't use the "file" exe
to guess what type of file you have
The "file" exe can be downloaded as part of the cygwin.com packages (free).
Its a fair bit of work to do this..

Subject: .cfm extension
Hello,
May I have a minute of your time? Would someone here be able to tell me
what application my windows PC should launch to open a file with a .cfm
extension?
I'm a genealogist and downloaded a court index from Maine. It came with a
.cfm extension, and from my searches, it appears that .cfm is for Cold
Fusion. If this is not accurate, please excuse me.
Any information, referral to manuals or links, etc. is appreciated.
Thank you.
Linda
