You've sparked my curiosity now.  I know PSP9 and beyond saves EXIF info.  I'll have to reload PSP7 just for kicks.  One thing that will rid the photo of EXIF is severe cropping.

I experimented a bit, and apparently even a simple "save as" in PSP7 will rid the file of the EXIF data. An upgrade seems the way to go, unless the EXIF Writer mentioned above will do the trick. I'll look into it one of these days, but probably not before the weekend.
