I was looking for the same and I found a solution. I post it here just in case someone else needs it too.

With Drupal 6 hook_menu_alter (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_menu_alter/6) you can disable the callback for view tab:

function mymodule_menu_alter(&$items) {
  $items['user/%user/view']['access callback'] = FALSE;
}

And then you can override user default tab for using your own with hook_menu:

function mymodule_menu(){
  $items['user/%user_uid_optional'] = array(
    'title' => 'My account',
    'title callback' => 'user_page_title',
    'title arguments' => array(1),
    'page callback' => 'mymodule_callback',
    'page arguments' => array(1),
    'access callback' => 'user_view_access',
    'access arguments' => array(1),
    'parent' => '',
  );

  $items['mymodule-url'] = array(
    'title' => t('Custom Title'),
    'page callback' => 'mymodule_callback',
    'page arguments' => array(1),
    'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,
  );
}

I have been trying to do this for weeks and so far the above has gotten me the furthest. I have successfully removed the view tab, but I can't get it to redirect the user. Could you tell me how I would forward the user to user/%user/edit ? It would be greatly appreciated.

I hid both view and edit tabs with css and then redirected users from user/* to user/*/edit.

in the theme's style.css:

.logged-in.page-user .tabs {
display: none;
}

in the custom module:
create redirectprofile folder in sites/all/modules and copy these two files

redirectprofile.info

; $Id$
name = Redirect profile
description = Redirect users from user/* to user/*/edit.
core = 6.x
version = 6.x-1.0

redirectprofile.module

// Redirect users from user/* to user/*/edit.

function redirectprofile_user ($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
  // Redirect user from user/* to user/*/edit
  if ($op == "view" && arg(0) == "user") {
    // Redirect user
    drupal_goto('user/' . arg(1) . '/edit');
  }
  
  // OPTIONAL -- Change breadcrumb from Home > My account (with link) to Home > My account (without link)
  if ($op == "load" && arg(0) == "user") {
    $links = array(
                   l('Home', 'node'),
                   'My account'
                  );
    drupal_set_breadcrumb($links);
  }

}

This works good. I tried your code. Thanks for that. I have a concern. I want to access other user profiles. So I am looking at something like, When the logged in user clicks on 'My Account' he has to be redirected to user->edit page. When the same user clicks on some other username, then he should be able to see the other users profile. How can this be done?

Thanks,
Betty

replace w/

function redirectprofile_user ($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
  // Redirect user from user/* to user/*/edit
  global $user;
  $uid = $user->uid;
  
  if ($op == "view" && arg(0) == "user" && arg(1) == $uid) {
  // Redirect user
  drupal_goto('user/' . arg(1) . '/edit');
  }

This is not removing the View tab from 'My Accounts' page. I added the class you said in my style.css but it is not working. Any reasons?

Geez, this post is forgotten, sorry. When I can find the source, I'll surely place it here. So here is what I have found and done, it's done through template layer:

Create a function in your template.php:

function yourthemename_remove_tab($label, &$vars) {
  $tabs = explode("\n", $vars['tabs']);
  $vars['tabs'] = '';

  foreach($tabs as $tab) {
    if(strpos($tab, '>'. $label .'<') === FALSE) {
      $vars['tabs'] .= $tab . "\n";
    }
  }
}

Then inside your preprocess_page, create one if you don't have it:

function yourthemename_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {

Place the removal code with conditions as you please:

  //Add specific condition, perhaps on user pages, so gives arg(0) == 'user', or node pages, arg(0) == 'node' , or hit em all except for admin
  if (!$is_admin) {
  yourthemename_remove_tab('View', &$vars);
  yourthemename_remove_tab('Edit', &$vars);
  //you can add any other tab to remove here, such as "Request new password", etc.
  }

Perhaps there is a better solution, such as module solution above.

@Andrew Jamieson, removing the tabs directly from page.tpl will simply remove them even from admin. So be careful :)

I got it to work with this

  //Add specific condition, perhaps on user pages, so gives arg(0) == 'user', or node pages, arg(0) == 'node' , or hit em all except for admin
  if (!$is_admin) {
  yourthemename_remove_tab('View', $vars);
  yourthemename_remove_tab('Edit', $vars);
  //you can add any other tab to remove here, such as "Request new password", etc.
  }

I don't know why, but I would get an error displayed at the top of the page if I used the code above, I removed the & and the error went away.
