Chris is correct, you can't do it in ColdFusion without the use of apache's mod_rewrite or an IIS equivalent (like this: http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF)
The reason this is required is that the web server application (apache, iis, etc) doesn't know to hand the request off to the application server (ColdFusion) unless it sees that you're using a .cfm or .cfc file extention. So that said, it actually KIND OF can be done... One way that people have gotten around this is to append ".cfm" to the end of the url and handle the fact that the file/folder doesn't exist in Application.cfc's onMissingTemplate. So, using that method, your example url would have to become: http://www.domain.com/aboutUs.cfm Or, perhaps in a more complicated system: http://www.domain.com/entries/tagged/modelglue.cfm You wouldn't have folders entries/tagged, nor a file "modelglue.cfm" in that non-existant folder, but instead, you look at the requested URL in onMissingTemplate, and handle the request accordingly. Make sense?
