Custom tags are just like other cfm files except that they must be installed in a specific location to be accessible from the calling page. Because ColdFusion loads the first instance it finds of the custom tag called by a page, you should avoid placing copies of a custom tag in different locations.
The ColdFusion engine first searches for a custom tag in the directory of the calling page. This allows you to keep a custom tag file in the same directory as the page that uses it.
To share a custom tag among applications in multiple directories, place it in the Custom Tags folder under your ColdFusion installation directory, for example C:\CFUSION\CustomTags. You can create subfolders to organize custom tags. ColdFusion searches recursively for the Custom Tags directory, stepping down through any existing subdirectories until the custom tag is found.
