This will probably be done via your Web server app and not really ColdFusion. All CF needs to know is where to place the files so if you created a "Static Files" application variable then just change it to "d:\whereeveryourfileare"
As far as making certain directories off your webroot point to folders outside your initial webroot you will need to create Aliases in Apache or IIS depending on what you use. It it is apache it is as simple as doing a directive in your HTTPD.CONF file: Alias /images d:\whateveryouareputtingthem In IIS I think they are called Virtual Folders and you just right click and add on the site in IIS manager.
