You can get cfexecute to run things that aren't command line programs, but then again, that's because most programs support command line execution anyhow:
e.g. iexplore.exe "http://www.macromedia.com"; The problem you will run into is that the CF Server is logging on to the operating system with a different user session than the one you are using to work with the desktop, so the results of the <cfexecute> call will not appear on the desktop. You can get around this by calling the 'at' command with <cfexecute> and getting it to execute the program you want to see on the desktop.
