> Use the rounded rectangle tool.
> Choose the radius you want and draw the rectangle.
> This will be a filled rectangle.
> Flatten image.
> Select this rectangle(with the magic wand), create a new layer and
> now stroke this selection.
> Throw away the filled rectangle layer and you have an empty box
> border with rounded edges.

>From the "Options Bar" you can also choose to create a path or selection
with the Shape Tool as well as a filled object, bypassing the wand/new layer
steps.
