Correct.

I believe you are mistaken. If you allow cfobject, users can 
enumerate applications and sessions, access the cf administrator 
and who knows what else:

You will want to disable Java and COM. With CF 6.1 that means you 
need to disable all object access, with CF 7 you can disable just 
Java and COM.

I don't see the objection against running c:\cfusionmx7 as Read. 
(But I do protect jvm.config against change using Windows ACLs.)
