I have tried to change the settings here to stop PSP 7.02 filling My
Documents folder with lots of sub-folders (Tubes, Brushes, etc.), but
every time I start PSP it resets to the Default setting again. Am I
missing something? Any advice would be appreciated.

The default here is for PSP to place these folders in
C:\PROGRAM FILES\JASC SOFTWARE INC\PAINT SHOP PRO 7\
Do folders with those names exist in the above location?
If so, do they contain anything.
Do the folders in My Documents have any content?

Have you unchecked "Save to Path"?

Only time I've seen that particular symptom is if PSP is run across
a network. If so and you're comfortable with working in your
registry, try changing HKCU/Software/Jasc/Paint Shop Pro 7/User
Directory to whatever directory you want to use as a root for those
various sub-directories instead.

PSP 7 lets you create file locations anywhere you want, but always creates
directories underneath where PSP.exe is located. My guess is that you have
a copy of psp.exe in your My Documents folder and are running from there.
Replace the actual psp.exe with a shortcut to psp.exe and you should be OK.

If that is not the case, you might have run from a CD or network share where
you did not have write permission. In that case PSP will pop up a dialog
asking you to identify a writable directory where it should put its
temporary files. If that is the case an uninstall/reinstall should solve
the problem.

Thanks to you all, but especially Joe. The Uninstall/reinstall fixed
it. Heaven knows what I did wrong in the first place.
