You can use a link instead of a email, something like:
./misc.php?page=contactus

Using the Page Manager plugin.

You can remove the code from the templates, and to be really sure you can as well use a plugin to block the action that sends out emails from the usercp.

It depends about what preferences you mean.
ty for the quick reply, to answer the last question i mean default ... on the right side on registration page like Receive emails from the Administrators. yes/no ect , is it possible to change default values if i need to change a 1 to 0 in database manual that's fine just need to know where in the database does settings are

also i want to add a the Date of Birth: field on registration page, what do i customize for that?

i like mybb more then phpbb3 atm allot is built in whiteout needing to use mods like calender , reputation and rating , just need to make a template and above customizing
Date of Birth on registration page is a plugin:

http://mods.mybb.com/view/date-of-birth-on-registration

And yes, you can check a 1 to a 0 in the database, I believe. The things you would need to change would be in the yourprefix_users table. If you give me specific names of what you want changed, I can give you a list of the database fields. Smile.
You can also use COPPA:
