The above link doesn't work anymore. I found a better explanation at http://www.excellencemagentoblog.com/customer-registration-fields-magento1-6 . If you just do the first steps you will only have the added fields in the admin.

The fastest way is to create a php file and access it through browser add the following content to file.

define('MAGENTO', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));
ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');
set_time_limit (0);
require_once MAGENTO . '/../app/Mage.php';
Mage::app();

$newFields = array(
    'custom_attribute' => array(
        'type'              => 'text',
        'label'                => 'Customer Custom Attribute'
    )
);

$entities = array('customer');

$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
foreach($newFields as $attributeName => $attributeDefs) {
    foreach ($entities as $entity) {
        $setup->addAttribute($entity, $attributeName, array(
            'position'          => 1,
            'type'              => $attributeDefs['type'],
            'label'             => $attributeDefs['label'],
            'global'            => 1,
            'visible'           => 1,
            'required'          => 0,
            'user_defined'      => 1,
            'searchable'        => 0,
            'filterable'        => 0,
            'comparable'        => 0,
            'visible_on_front'  => 1,
            'visible_in_advanced_search' => 0,
            'unique'            => 0,
            'is_configurable'   => 0,
            'position'          => 1,
        ));                
    }
}

You have to tell the attribute which forms it's used in:

Mage::getModel('customer/attribute')
    ->loadByCode('customer', 'your_attrib_code')
    ->setUsedInForms(array('adminhtml_customer'))
    ->save();

This can be put in a standard Magento upgrade script for convenience (usually the same script that originally created the attribute, or the one right after it).
