also, a simple if statement in your application.cfm will keep them from
viewing files without going through the index.cfm page.
For instance if you had a file called dsp_mypage.cfm.  If someone wanted to
view it they would simply type its path into thier browser. That's not so
bad unless that page is behind a login page. So to keep people from doing
that, just put something like this in that directory's application.cfm

<cfparam name="client_PATH_INFO"
default="/mywebsitedirectory/login/index.cfm">
<cfif CGI.PATH_INFO IS NOT client_PATH_INFO AND CGI.HTTP_REFERER is "">
 <cflocation url="#web_path#dsp_clientlogin_access_error.cfm">
</cfif>

Because we use fusebox, that is all you need for directory security.
