For the kind of work I am doing in photoshop, I want a clean page and not a transparent/clear overlay. I am having to create a new layer and fill it with white every 2 minutes. I would like it if there was a way to tell photoshop to create a new layer automatically filled in with the background color. Can someone help me out with this? Can someone help?

    Create an action to do that, and assign a key to the action.

    Command-Option-Shift-N, Command-delete.

    New layer, fill with backround.

    That assumes the background is white. If you add assign a function key to the action, Chris's suggestion would create a new white layer with a single key press regradless of the foreground/background colors.
