Hiding email options in register page

[sparklywater]

I want to hide the section on the 'register' page where the user selects whether they want to get admin or user emails. I can't simply remove this part from the 'register' template because if i do that, the newly registered members do not get the correct default email settings applied to their account (I have tested this). Is there any way I can have that part of the template still there but just hide it from the users when they are registering?
