you just click on the layer that you want the shadow to be of, go to the layers tab in the largest of the 3 boxes that are on the right hand of the screen, hte lower right box, then right click on the layer you want the shadow to be on, their should be a popup menue that first has layer properties then it has blending options, click on blending options. A dialog box should popup. It shoudl be called layer styles click on drop shadow and play around with the options enjoy. This is for Photoshop 7.

you could always make a copy of the lyaer you want to have the shadow of make a selection of it inverse that selection fill it with black then blur and offset, I used to do that.
