Can I change the fax banner date format?

Hi,

I use WinXP's built-in fax software to send and receive
my faxes. My question is whether the default date format
that is used in the banner can be changed from US format
(i.e. MM/DD/YYYY) to a rest of world format (i.e.
DD/MM/YYYY)

In case "banner" is not the correct term, I'm talking
about the information that is automatically inserted at
the very top of the fax when it is sent, that consists of
(for example) "10/1/2004 12:05 PM FROM: 0044 (0)20 8123
4567 My Company Name Ltd. TO: 0034123456789 PAGE: 001
OF 001"

As a non-US resident, it would be far less confusing if
the format could be changed, but I can't seem to see any
way of doing it. I have worked out how to turn the banner
off completely, but not how to alter its content.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

Graham.

There is no way I've ever found.
