Can I remove some fields from registration page, but not in User Control Panel?

I want only this fields on registration page:
Name, Password (and confirm), Email, Public Email (yes/no), Choose Language.

So I want to remove this fields on registration page (not in user CP):
Website, Occupation, From, User Interests, Country.

Thanks in advance.

User Control Panel? What do you mean by that?

You can remove these fields safely. They will be left in database just as empty values.

I mean that user can edit his profile data (when he click on "Profile" link a.k.a. User Control Panel), but dont show some fields on registration page.

Example:
When user click to register he can see following fields:
Username
Password
Email
Email address displayed publicly?
Language


But other (additional) data he can fill/edit in his "Profile" link (Website, Occupation, From, User Interests, Country etc.)

I hope its clear now. :)

Well, this would be possible, but will require core file modification, specifically, bb_func_regusr.php. Where you see the code

$tpl=makeUp('user_dataform');
it should be something like

$tpl=makeUp('user_dataform_reg');
Then under templates/user_dataform_reg.html put the copy of modified user_dataform.html.

I would recommend then to put all fields you don't want to appear, as "hidden" elements with empty values. I.e.

<input type="hidden" name="website" value="" />
and so on.

I would recommend to leave all the fields on registration form, otherwise few members will bother to fill out anything else later ;).
