A more common and flexible approach is to set and environment variable in your Apache httpd.conf file, for example SetEnv MYMAP "C:/Files/apps/demo/demoCV.map" Those are forward slashes not back slashes even though it's Windows. And your URL is now http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=MYMAP This is considered to be more secure because you are not exposing your file system path to the public.
As Rich noted, those little tricks are very useful - personally I am constantly referred to the docs for this to use on my client's machines: http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#changing-the-online-resource-url
