Fax Cover Page Editor — \windows\system32\fxscover.exe

Synopsis

Start → All Programs → Accessories → Communications → Fax → Fax Cover Page Editor

Fax Console → Tools → Personal Cover Pages → New (or) Open

Pages created with the Cover Page Editor are used automatically when sending faxes with the Microsoft Fax service. The Fax Cover Page Editor works like an ordinary drawing/layout program, in that you can indiscriminately place text, shapes, and images on a blank page. Next, use the Insert menu to place text fields on the page, into which the details of the fax will be placed when it is sent.

When you've created or modified the cover pages desired, save each into a Cover Page (.cov) file, stored, by default, in \Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\Fax\Personal Coverpages. And then, when sending a fax, simply specify the desired Cover Page file, and it will be used as the first page in your outgoing fax.
