There is another way that I prefer. Instead of using the megawizard to set the name of the MIF/HEX file. Assign the MIF/HEX file using the assignment editor. Then if you need to change it, you don't have to re-run the megawizard.

Assignments->Assignment Editor.

The assignment type is "parameter". The parameter name is "INIT_FILE". Here is what an example from one of my QSF files looks like: 

set_parameter -name INIT_FILE trio_boot_loader_epcs.hex -to "trio_sopc:trio_sopc_inst|epcs_controller:the_epcs_controller|altsyncram:the_boot_copier_rom"
