Win7 x64 + IIS + CF9 - run a .cfm file from browser

Is it possible to have everything setup so, as the computer user can dbl-click on a .cfm file from windows eg. index.cfm and have it display correctly in the browser ?

At present, clicking on a .cfm file causes Dreamweaver to load and display it.

Dreamweaver can then go on to display the file in the configured browser.

I doubt it, because when you're browsing the file system, you're not making an HTTP request, which is what's required to execute a CFM file (the web server asks CF to process the request). Think about it: how can the file system possibly know what your domain name is, what your web root is, and stuff like that?
