UNC Path Issue

Anyone come across an issue where having IIS set to a UNC Path works for htm files but not for cfm files? I'm using Win2003/IIS6 with MX7. I'm able to see these cfm files in IIS and I'm able to browse to htm files in the same directory, but when I try to browse the cfm files, I get a not found error. Both IIS and CF services are using the same local system account. The CF Install is not on a UNC path - just after the CF Install, I changed the IIS web root to a UNC Path. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

    If your using a UNC path I assume your accessing a network path in which case you will need to run CF under an account with appropriate permissions, not the local system account. If coldfusion is running as a service just change the Log On account being used.

    You know, I thought I'd tried that, but I guess maybe I didn't do it for all 4 cf services because this time it worked! Thanks so much.
