I mean, what is the working directory when you run your cgihttpserver.py
program. You should be in the parent directory of the cgi directory so the
server can find the cgi files. So, given the paths you originally specified,
at the command prompt try these two commands:

cd C:\cgihome
python server\cgihttpserver.py

Then browse to http://localhost:8000/cgi/cgitest.py
