Answer 1

If the image is already on the drive you don't need CFIMAGE here. You can embed it like so:

<img src="file:///d:\mysite\images\myimage.jpg" width="50" height="60">

You could also use an HTTP Path to it as well - store it at a location accessible by your web server through real or virtual directories use the <img> tag like you normally would.

This post on cfdocument and SSL and this suplimental post on using the file system with cfdocument should help you sort it out.
