Hi Ann- you probably have this worked out already, but here's the best work around that I have to step backwards to CS3.

1. Make sure that pref- 'auto collapse iconic panels' is on,

2. I orient the adjustment panel to the most left position of the panels so that I get the curve back towards my image area and not off in right field. And, make sure that the panel is minimized/closed to an icon.

3. Choose your adjustment layer option as you did in CS3 at the bottom of the layers panel. The curve, levels etc opens in the adjustment panel, make your changes and click on another layer to dismiss and close the adjustment panel.

This will avoid ever having the presets or silly field of icons visible.

hope this helps.
