One of the things I've been hating about Photoshop CS4 is that the images default to fill the entire workspace, so part of the image gets hidden under my palettes on the right side.

On previous versions of Photoshop, this only happened if the "Ignore Palettes" option was checked at the top of Photoshop. This was always available when the zoom tool was selected, in between "Resize Windows To Fit" and "Zoom All Windows". However, I can't find this anywhere in CS4.

Can anybody help me out?

See there is no longer a "Ignore Palettes" option. It appears that is default now in CS4 and I hate it, as my palettes cover my image and makes it a PITA to work on the image (I can manually resize the image but that's a huge pain because I would have to do that whenever I zoom in or out.)

Application frame is used by default in Windows, but is an option on the Mac that puts a medium gray background behind the various Photoshop elements hiding the other items on the Mac desktop.

What version of PS were you using before? I couldn't find the Ignore Palettes option in CS3 to compare the behavior with CS4. Perhaps I'm not quite understanding your issue anyway. My image never goes under the docked panels when zooming. It does however go under the flyout ones. It did this in CS3 also though.

If you want floating windows on windows, try the prefs and untick "open in tabs".

Edit: Note to self: Read the OP better :p

@Drisley: It depends on how you dock them.
Try this to prevent them from floating over the images (works on a Mac at least ;))

Click and hold the pallettes, drag 'em to the side until the blue line appears. Then drop them.
This dragging might be easiest with collapsed panels (as in the screenshot) instead of open ones.

Sweet Rene! Thanks! That's bothered me for months now!

Rick, all previous versions of Photoshop had "Ignore Palettes" wedged in between "Resize Windows" and "Zoom All Windows" when you select the zoom tool. I thought CS3 had it, if not perhaps it just behaved differently.

According to Ben Willmore's CS4 Up to Speed book, apparently Adobe introduced a Maximum Screen Mode button in CS3 that prevented docked palettes from covering up your image - so that must be what took the place of the Ignore Palettes checkbox. Adobe then did away with it in CS4 and didn't replace it with anything.

I have tried it in CS4 with tabs and floating windows and, as long as I have the palettes docked, it works fine both ways.

Anyway, glad it's working for you now.

Yup, that appears to be the case. Thanks guys for help warding off my dementia... at least temporarily. :)
