Default Formatting of TOC's generated based on the "Caption" style

I am not able to format TO-Figures or TO-Tables in the way I would like to.
I think the root of the problem is that the Insert/Caption is formatted like, "Figure #:<<space>>" rather than "Figure #:<<tab>>"

The Figure/Table Captions in my document are generated based on the "Caption" style. I have been able to get the TOC styling options I want only when I deviated from "Caption" with a custom style and apply Numbering to keep track of the figure numbers. However, I don't want to use a custom style because that causes the Figures to be listed as "Numbered Items" in Insert -> Cross Reference rather than as "Figures". (Also, I expect doing things in any "non-standard" way will ultimately cause problems down the road. I want the solution to the formatting issue to be invisible to the eventual users of this template.)

Attached is a picture that hopefully illustrates why I even care about this. Basically I want to make my Table of Figures look a little nicer.
