Best way to hide options on the registration page ?

[Sharg]

Hi,
I will Hide most of some options on the registration page, and put default value I want to all that will be hidden.

What is the methodology to do this ?

What should I replace by "hidden" to hide lets say "Enable private messaging ?"

And what should I add to make an option an obligation to be filled. Like If I want to force users to fill in the birthdate, what should I add ?

Thanks,

Here is an example of how I did it on my own registration template:

Standard:

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#DFDFDF"><normalfont><b>Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?</b></normalfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="#DFDFDF"><normalfont>
        <input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="yes" checked> yes
        <input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="no"> no
    </normalfont></td>
</tr> 

Hidden:

<!--
<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#DFDFDF"><normalfont><b>Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?</b></normalfont></td>
    <td bgcolor="#DFDFDF"><normalfont>&nbsp;
    </normalfont></td>
</tr>-->
<input type="hidden" name="allowmail" value="yes"> 

What I've done here is defaulted the setting to "Yes" to receive email from Admins and by using the <!-- and -->, I've hidden the fields out of the registration template.

My thanks to Wluke for this one.

Great answers guys thanks.
Now all I need to know is how to force if possible a field, a select or a radio.... to be filled.
