If you already install the hack, do the followings

run this querry to add another option (turn on/off) to your "vB Registration Options

INSERT INTO `setting` (`varname`, `grouptitle`, `value`, `defaultvalue`, `optioncode`, `displayorder`, `advanced`, `volatile`) VALUES ('regpmactive', 'register', '1', '1', '', 139, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, `text`, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', 'setting_regpmactive_title', 'Send default PM to new users?', '5000');
INSERT INTO phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, `text`, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0',  'setting_regpmactive_desc', '', '5000');

In registration.php

Look for

	   $pmoptions['regpmtext'] = $vboptions['regpmtext'];

add above:

 		$pmoptions['regpmactive'] = $vboptions['regpmactive'];

Look for:

		// Send the new owner a PM
		$DB_site->query(

if ($pmoptions['regpmactive']) {
