cfobject

Creates a ColdFusion object, of a specified type.

Note: You can enable and disable this tag in the ColdFusion Administrator page, under ColdFusion Basic Security, Tag Restrictions.

The tag syntax depends on the object type. Some types use the type attribute; others do not. See the following sections:

Note: On UNIX, this tag does not support COM objects.

ColdFusion MX:

Changed instantiation behavior: this tag, and the CreateObject function, can now instantiate ColdFusion components (CFCs); you can use them within the cfscript tag.

For CORBA object: changed the Naming Service separator format for addresses from a dot to a forward slash. For example, if "context=NameService", for a class, use either of the following formats for the class parameter:

"Macromedia/Eng/CF"
"Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF"

(In earlier releases, the format was "Macromedia.Eng.CF".)

For CORBA object: changed the locale attribute; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.

Version 6.1

Comments are no longer accepted for ColdFusion MX 6.1. ColdFusion 8 is the current version.

REMOVE NOTE:
"Note: This tag executes only if it is enabled in the ColdFusion Administrator. For more information, see Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX"

The "Tag Restriction" page is not in CFMX 6.x Adminstrator - it was only in CF 5. To restrict this tag in CFMX use Sandbox Security.

I'm sure you must be looking at the Enterprise (or the developer edition within the first 30 days). My licensed copy of Pro says "Resource Security" at the bottom of the menu just where it's supposed to be.

Enterprise (which includes the developer edition for a the first month) is the only version of CF that supports Sandbox. The Pro version uses Resource Security just like previous versions.
