Default WMP11 problem

Hi.
I upgraded from WMP10 to WMP11. I had My Playlists in WMP10 (wpl cache files) saved to D:\Music.
I deleted the Music folder from drive D before installing WMP11. Now every time I delete
that folder, WMP11 re-creates it when I open the player again. When I create a new playlist in the player,
I am, however able to save new Playlists to a different folder, and access them no problem. But WMP11 insists
on creating the empty folder Music in Drive D which I deleted several times.
Somehow, D:\Nusic has become the default folder for the My Playlists wpl cache.
I temporarily fixed the problem by running WMP11 from a batch file. I added the following line to the batch file
to delete the unwanted folder upon exiting WMP11. "rd /s d:\music" This works, but I'd rather it not be necessary.
I'm ok with editing the registry, is there a way to change the default Playlist location?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Go here, and you will be able to change the default play list preferences in the right hand pane...

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
The WMP playlists on my Win XP are buried in here: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample Playlists
