Help with Photoshop's Pen Tool?

So I'm using the Pen Tool in Photoshop CS5 and one thing I noticed is that I have to keep on right clicking my mouse and selecting the "Stroke Path.." option in order to apply a stroke to my pen anchor points. Obviously this gets very tiresome and annoying as it'd be a lot easier to have strokes already applied to the anchor points without me having to go back and forth and singularly clicking "Stroke Path..." for every stroke that I make. I don't have Illustrator if you were going to suggest so Photoshop is really my only option now. So I was basically wondering if anyone knows of a way on how to automatically apply strokes to the pen tool without having to continuously click the "Stroke Path..." every time in order to do it. Thanks

Click to expand...

Will you clarify for me please. When you say apply a stroke to the anchor points, are you really referring to each new point made on a path?

Once the path is created is when you apply a stroke to it. Otherwise, yeah, it would be ex-treme-ly tedious. Also, you can make discontinuous lines and have them all part of one path and stroke those all at once.
