Decided to try another test. Created new folder and only put the iisstart.htm/cfm and welcome.png file in it. Created a new virtual directory in IIS to that folder and all works OK. Did some more flushing of the issue with the one site and found that it used session variables and if the session wasn't valid it was invoking a page that couldn't be found because the mapping was different. Therefore, it simply didn't matter what page I was trying to bring up and it was code that would not get invoked if it wasn't a cfm (why the htm worked). Saw others with this issue and hope this might help them.
