I'm trying to turn off all e-mail functions of the forums but it seems no matter what I try, I can't turn it off. Users get errors when registering, sending PMs, etc...

Where can I change the setting to disable all e-mail notifications/fucntions?

You need to turn-off all e-mail functions inside the admin control panel as well and registration e-mail confirmations.

OK, sorry to bother again, but could you be a bit more specific about those settings and their locations? I believe I have turned everything off related to e-mail but I keep getting this error when registering:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums\theme\default\register.php on line 1280

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums\theme\default\register.php:1280) in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums\theme\default\register.php on line 1214

I can't find any specific registration settings other than these (some may not be related to e-mail, but I turned them off anyway just in case):

Avatar Approval: No
Allow Email: No
Use SMTP To Send Email: No
SMTP Server: Null
SMTP Server Timeout: Null
SMTP Server Login: Null
SMTP Server Password: Null
Email Confirmation: No
Administrator Email: Set
Notify From: Null
Notify W/Body: No
Smart Notification: No
New Account Moderation: No
New Account Notification: No

What else am I miss here?

The PHP errors messages are pretty clear about what is wrong.

In order for mail() to work on win32 you need to specify SMTP server via the sendmail_from INI setting.

That's the point. I don't want mail to work. If I put in something in php.ini it then errors that it can't send mail. What else can I do?

Well, one solution is to disable the display of warnings to screen.
The other to remove the code that sends the welcome message upon registration inside register.php.t
