Default Backup Directory

I have put my backup directory on a seperate drive from the data and logs.
Is the only way to change the default backup directory (that shows up when
you create a new maintenance plan) is to change the registry entry or is
there some option/ parameter that will do this?
Thanks
MACason,
Declare @.Backup_Directory VarChar(255)
exec master..xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer',
'BackupDirectory', @.Backup_Directory OUTPUT
Select @.Backup_Directory
