I think I have found where to do this - in the same registration_bootstrap file which is in the user view. I have made the changes you recommend, but even after clearing my Joomla cache and browser cache, these modifications are not having effect. I have only edited the registration_bootstrap file for my default template. Do I need to modify any of the other versions (e.g. for template Beez3, etc.)?
