Hi there.

It isn't possible to change the usergroup new users register in to. Instead, you're best renaming the default members group to "New Users", and setting it's permission mask as you would like new users to view the board. :)

What do you mean exactly? Validated accounts are placed into the Members usergroup. If users haven't validated their email address, or you haven't approved their accounts via the Admin CP (Depending on what you've set in the Security & Privacy section), then they will be in the Validating usergroup.

Since you can't change the default group that your validated accounts (or registered accounts, if validation is off) go to, you basically need to follow these directions.

1) Make a new User Group based on your Members group. Move all your normal members to this group.
2) Change the name of the default Members group and edit its properties to suit your newly registered and validated members.

As a result, your normal members should be in your new group, while your registered and validated accounts come into your default Members group, which you can handle as you like. Then you change the permissions and settings.
