  1. Open Photoshop > Preferences > Guides, Grid, Slices & Count...
  2. In the Grid section, set: Gridline every 10 pixels, subdivisions 10.
  3. Make sure View > Show > Grid is ✓ or -. It seems to be a bug in photoshop, but snapping to grid doesn't work when the grid is enabled but hidden. If you find the grid distracting, you can set it to "Dots" in prefs.
  4. Make sure View > Snap is ✓.
  5. Make sure View > Snap To > Grid is ✓.

Now, if you show extras (that's View > Extras or Cmd-H or maybe Cmd-Ctrl-H) everything will snap to pixel boundaries. If you hide extras, some tools will work subpixel.

Note: I run CS3 so I don't know if this still works on CS4 or CS5. It probably does.
