How do I set up WordPress Registering to Require Admin Approval?

How do I set up my WordPress Blog so that when a user Registers, the notification goes to me instead of to the user ? I guess it goes to both. But here is why I ask this question. Suppose I want the ability to choose if someone can or cannot register. How can I set up the system such that I first see who has registered and then choose to allow or disallow them registration?

I am going to see if I can get one of our WordPress specialists to answer this question for you. I'll send them an email now.

That doesn't come with Wordpress. You may be able to find a plugin that will do that for you:

You can always go to "Settings" and allow anyone to "register".. You then have the ability as administrator to remove the new individual.

This requires alot of diligence since you will be possibly stampeded by flaming spammers. Best is to disable and remove any kind of "registering" as a user fr your site, unless you trust the individual as a content provider.
