# Saving Application Pages

Instead of saving pages with an HTM or HTML file extension, you save ColdFusion application pages with a CFM or CFML extension. By default, the Web server knows to pass a page that contains a CFM extension to the ColdFusion Server when it is requested by a browser.

Save ColdFusion application pages underneath the Web root or another Web server mapping so that the Web server can publish these pages to the Internet. For example, you might want to create a directory `myapps` and save your practice pages there.

| To save the page:

1. Select File > Save.
2. Save your page as `calldept.cfm` in `myapps` under the Web root directory.

   For example, the directory path on your machine may be:

   `c:/inetpub/wwwroot/myapps` on Windows NT or

   `<mywebserverdocroot>/myapps` on UNIX
