1. Find or add a custom module, and add this to the [MODULENAME].module

<?php
function [MODULENAME]_menu_alter(&$items) {
  $items['user']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
  $items['user/register']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
  $items['user/password']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
}
?>

2. Go to Site Configuration > Site Performance, Click Clear Cache

3. Open a second browser and navigate to /user and it should be gone! Yay!

Hello,
I am using user selectable roles modules for my roles to be displayed and we can select those roles by checking the text boxes.but these roles are displaying by default either on registration page or on user account forms,I have no other option left with.I want to remove the registration/user account page and get the roles display on a separate page.Can you tell me how to get this done?

Instead of manually clearing the cache, try:

      menu_rebuild();
      drupal_set_message('The menu has been rebuilt.');

Works for me :)

If you want to remove the rss feed (/rss.xml), use the following snippet:

<?php
function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
  unset($items['rss.xml']);
}
?>
