The root view controller is always set as tableViewController when the navigation controller is installed

When I use storyboards and pull the navigation controller out of the object library in Interface Builder, the root view controller that comes with the nav controller is always the table view controller.

In most cases, I just wanted to just create a view controller. Is there a way to drag the navigation controller and set a simple default view controller, instead of the table view controller that I get now?

Thanks in advance!
