No, Tex, that's not where he's going with this. Delboy, you need to set up your Email configuration so that the members are automatically approved when they click the Email verification.
I can't see where you do that that. According to the help file it is automatically approved if "Restrict registration" is disabled which is what I have done. I have made a snapshot of my email config which can be viewed here http://www.catalyst-projects.com/temp/snitz.htm
With e-mail validation turned on, they will show up as pending members until they validate their e-mail. You can optionally approve them, but you shouldn't need to unless the registration e-mail got caught in their spam filter or something.
