You can either hack user.module, which is not advisable, or you can create a custom module and use hook_form_alter [1]. It's not really that difficult nor that much code. The Form Inspect module [2] will be helpful here.

hacking user.module sounds more doable. the implication is that if there is an upgrade we'd have to re-hack, right? or are you just worried that i don't hack carelessly?

Yes, and that it's not the Drupal Way(tm).
It's really not that difficult. Put the following D5 code in a file named zzz_mods.module in a relevant location in your sites directory, create a corresponding .info file, enable it and tweak away. (I changed the titles to both fields.) If these are not the fields you wanted to change, find the relevant form definitions in the core files, copy, paste and tweak. (If they are from a different form, you will need to update the case statement.) No core hacking necessary, and probably very little, if anything, in the way of tweaking for upgrades.
<?php function zzz_mods_form_alter($form_id, &$form) { switch ($form_id) { case 'user_register': $form['name'] = array('#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('This is where you type in your user name'), '#size' => 30, '#maxlength' => 60, '#description' => t('Your full name or your preferred username; only letters, numbers and spaces are allowed.'), '#required' => TRUE, ); $form['mail'] = array('#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('This is where you type in your e-mail address'), '#size' => 30, '#maxlength' => 64, '#description' => t('A password and instructions will be sent to this e-mail address, so make sure it is accurate.'), '#required' => TRUE, ); break; } }

The registration guidelines text above the form?
on 4.7 you edit it at : /admin/settings/user (it might be the same in 5.x)
If you want to change the text in the form itself, try the locale module.
wow thanks i will look into that. easier than creating a mod...
