Hi Robert.

You can stop the sending of the registration email through the back-end
with Joomla 2.5. Not sure if this option was available for 1.5 or not:
http://learning.cloudaccess.net/knowledgebase-documents/98-joomla-functions/user-manager/228-how-to-select-the-new-user-account-activation-process.html

There are 3 New User Account Activation options to choose from in the Users
Configuration area. These include the following:

   - None - no activation is required and the user can log in immediately
   after registering.
   - Self - users will receive an email that offers instructions and a
   token that is needed to activate the account.
   - Admin - an administrator of your site approves the account.

=+=+=+=
If it's set to None, then the user won't get an e-mail. Self was the
default. Admin might be an option, but I don't know if it sends the
password through or not.

The problem I see with using None, is that unless Captcha is used for
registration the website might be left open to a 'bot' doing something
nasty like registering a zillow bogus users.

Hope this helps!
