When creating a new user via the administrator screen (admin/user/user/create) is it possible to hide/change the help text at the top that reads.

This web page allows administrators to register new users. Users' e-mail addresses and usernames must be unique.

I would like to avoid using CSS or hacking core modules.

The help text has nothing to do with the shared email module, but the way to do it is here.

The text is a bit misleading once the module has been installed and although it's not really part of the module I think the overall UI should be a consideration.

Using the Locale module is a great idea but it seems a bit overkill and I don't want the additional server overhead of a full multi-lingual site.

Good point, could probably change the text using one of the hook_form_alter variations?

The closest I can find is to use hook_help as follows:

function mymodule_help($path, $arg) {
  switch ($path) {
    case 'admin/user/user/create':
      return '<p>'. t("New Help Text Here.") .'</p>';
    }
}

But this only appends the new help text and I would like to remove it!

If you can use a php debugger like komodo or eclipse you can see exatcly what to change. Or you might be able to print_r($form).

Probably better off asking in the forums, I haven't got time to do it myself, and more people there to help out.
