Interesting question.
Using .NET (Framework 2 or later) it can also be done using SMO, there are public functions to get and set the (default) backup directory. Documented for SQL 2005 at
Settings.BackupDirectory Property
.

I've just used the facets method with SSMS 2008 and SQL Server 2005. It is working! So you should give the points to the answer SSMS!

Try it with SQL Server 2000! It's funny!
Cheers,

Thanks everyone for a lively discussion. I honestly thought this would be a nice uncontroversial question! Apart from it actually being incomplete (or incorrect, depending on your point of view), there are also issues with what the default location would actually be and so on.
Live and learn I suppose!

Nice question and important to note that the default backup directory cannot be changed using SQL Management Studio but by modifying the registry in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.
