You should have your ColdFusion files in a directory that is accessible by IIS (either in the root [which I don't think is recommended] or via a virtual directory [configurable in IIS]).
So if you go the virt dir route, you would create a virtual directory to, for example, D:\web\sample and call the virtual directory "sample". You can create a CFM file (like your index.cfm) in that folder. Then open up your web browser and point it to .... http://localhost/sample/index.cfm IIS will know to parse your page with the CF "engine" and it will output the results to your screen. If you're on Apache, and not IIS, it is going to be different, but probably not overly so.
