Under View you should have rulers, grids and guides.  You can either turn off or on the guides.  If they are on click on, either the top of the box under the measurements or at the side by the measurements and holding down the left mouse button move your mouse either across or down your screen to where you want it.

Once you have you guides how you want them, go back to view and click snap to guide.

This is from the help menu
Snapping to Grids and Guides You can use the Snap features to align your brush strokes and objects precisely to the nearest grid line or guide. The snap influence controls how many pixels away an item must be to snap to guide or grid.
Note: An item’s centre point will snap to a guide or grid point if the centre point is the closest part of the item to a grid point or guide. Grids or guides must be displayed for items to snap to them.
To snap to the nearest grid line:
Choose View > Snap to Grid (Ctrl + Shift + G).
To snap to the nearest guide:
Choose View > Snap to Guides (Shift + Alt + G).
Note: If a grid point and a guide are equal distances from an item, the item will snap to the guide.
To change the snap influence:
    Choose View > Change Grid, Guide, and Snap Properties.
    Click the Grid or Guides tab and change the Snap influence value.
    The Default settings group box shows settings for all future guides or grids. The Current image settings group box controls settings for guides in the current image.
    Click OK.
