Not that you are really missing anything here but it's a pain in the ass do what you are interested in doing with the built in webserver. You need to edit the .xml config files and restart coldfusion for this stuff to take effect.
The quickest way to do what you are looking to do is the following. Go to Add/Remove programs click Add/Remove windows components on the right. Verify IIS is installed. If not check the box for IIS and let that run it's course. Not sure if a restart is needed but if it is, do so now. Now go to the control pannel, onto the Administration tools and open Internet Information Services. Change the home directory to the website you are developing on and click save, close Click Start and look for Macromedia or Adobe folder depending on what version of coldfusion you have installed then look for a sub menu called Web Server Configuration Tool. This Box should be blank I beleive, Click Add Then under the Web Server information make sure you have IIS Highlighted. Also check the box for Configure web server for Coldfusion MX applications, and that all IIS sites is selected in the dropdown box. then click OK Load http://localhost/ in your browser and your website should pull up unless you have specific mappings set in your application that are not configured for your local directory structure. That's a quick and dirty version. I might be missing something if this is the case, let me know it doesn't work and I'll assist you further with setting up IIS. My previous post would come after these steps so you can manage multiple dev locations without having to reset the home directory every time you switch sites in Dreamweaver.
