First, open a transparent object onto Photoshop’s workspace: [1] or extract an object from its background.
Note
Ensure any Layers have been Merged Visible.
Note
I am using Windows XP with Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Now, press and keep pressed your Keyboard’s Ctrl Key: then left-click once over the following Layer Thumbnail.

And your transparent image will now be isolated by a Selection Marquee, as illustrated below.

Tip
If you cannot see your Layers Palette, press F6.
Best Wishes.
