First things first, you should *really* consider upgrading to a newer 
version of MantisBT.  The current stable release is version 1.1.6, and 
should provide a complete upgrade path.  This version not only has new 
features, but many security and bug fixes as well.

There is a configuration setting in the latest versions that allows you 
to disable those fields.

After you create a custom field, you need to "link" the custom field to 
every project that you want the field to appear in.
