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

Keep that link handy! :)
