I need to define default docs in CF developer edition

I* don'[t have IIS locally (sadly) so I'm trying to define the default doc that opens when you click 127.0.0.1:8500. I want it to be default.cfm.

Looking through tomcat docs I thought I found it at C:\ColdFusion2018\cfusion\runtime\conf\web.xml:

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>default.cfm</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>default.cfml</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
 
But now it defaults to index.cfm (which I did not specify) indicating that the config exiists elsewhere?
Thanks for any guidance.

    I may have answerd my own question based on further research. 
    I'm not sure if edits to the file I posted AND this file are required but this one

    C:\ColdFusion2018\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF

    allowed me to change my default documents for coldFusion developer edition.
