... I don't want to have to open an image, center it, and fit it to the available screen EVERY TIME I open a new image. There MUST be a way of telling Photoshop to open all images as large as possible, centered on the available real-estate.
Thanks,

Try checking the "Resize Windows to Fit" box on the 2nd line fron the top.

I don't think it's possible to get PS to open all images at full screen, I certainly haven't found a way. One thing that does help a bit is to have the hand tool selected, that brings up "Actual Pixels" "Fit Screen" and "Print size" buttons above the image. That saves dragging and pulling borders if you want to use all your screen real estate.

The only way I can think of is for you to create an action that will do a view fit on screen. Once you have that action created use File Automate Batch and point it at an image directory or batch it from PS Browser or Bridge.

I created a shortcut (Control + ) that I use for the "Fit to Screen" function, but what I really want is for Photoshop to "Fit to Screen," centered, every photo I open. I sometimes open near a hundred photos in one day for editing. Each time I have to "Fit to Screen," then center the window (I'm anal). It's really not a huge deal, but you'd think a program of this caliber would have a simple way to "remeber last window position," or "Fit to Screen," without the user having to go through the steps each time.

Although I don't yet have CS2, I've read it has a new feature in which scripts (which can invoke actions) can be triggered on events, e.g., "OnOpen, OnClose, etc." So, I believe in theory you should be able to do what you're asking by stitching together the pieces under the covers.

Search CS2 help on "Event Manager."
 
As you suggested, used Events Manager, Selected Open Document, entered a "Fit on Screen" action, and now every document I open automatically expands to the screen size. All I have to do now is find a way to make Photoshop center the image and I can die and go to heaven!
Thanks,

I do not know javascript but I took a quick look at the CS2 javascript reference there is a window object function center which will center the window. If you add a script to the fit on screen action I provided you should be done. Actions can use scripts.

Window object functions
These functions are defined for window objects.
orientation String How elements are organized within this container.
Interpreted by the layout manager for the container. The
default LayoutManager Object accepts the
(case-insensitive) values:
row
column
stack

center
windowObj.center ([window])
Centers this window on the screen, or with respect to another
specified window.
window Optional. A Window Object.
