Where do bowsers (IE, Flock and Netscape) find out what to do with .cfm and .php files?
I have been running CF for a long time with Home Site and Dreamweaver CS3 and all of a sudden when I want to "Browse" or use a " http://127.0.0.1/Authors/Authors.cfm" the file the browsers want to "Open or Save" the file instead of rendering in a browser.

Either CF did not install properly under IIS or it missed a mime-type setting for CFM files in the server

browsers don't find out anything about .cfm - they don't know anything about cfm nor will they ever know anything about cfm. All a browser ever knows about (at it's core) is HTML. Your cfc/php/ruby/asp/jsp etc all send html back to the browser which it then renders to you on screen.

If you're seeing a open/save then it's a problem with your webserver not serving the files up correctly for the .cfm extension, that's where you need to be looking,

I am using Windows XP SP2, and IIS.
I have looked all over to find where to correct my problem.
Can you shed any light on the subject?
