When I open images in Photoshop CS2 they open at 33%. As I have a 19" screen and edit 100’s of images a day I would like to change the "default" to open the images at 50% instead. Occasionally they open at 50% automatically but I don’t know what I’ve done to make it happen. Can anyone help?

Ok, this is what you need to do.

1. Create a new action and when you are recording that action go to the flyout menu for the actions palette and choose insert menu item. Then go to the view menu and choose actual pixels. Stop recording. Basically you just created an action that zooms your image to 100%.
2. Go to the file menu and choose Scripts and then Scripts Event Manager. Choose the option to have the action start when you open a document, then choose your action set and then the action you just made to zoom the document to 100%, click on the add button.

Now anytime you load a new document it will zoom to 100%.
