In SimPilotMag Christian has an article on "Create Airport Labels". I did this tweak when I had FSX on my old computer running Win XP. A really nice feature, and works well.
Now that I'm running a new computer (i7 860 2.8GHz/ GTX 285 / Velociraptor 300G / 4G DDR 3 Ram - awesome FPS now!) with Windows 7, I can't get this tweak to work.
Has anyone tried it and got it to work?
Appreciate any help here.

For the benefit of others ... here's Christian's original article: here.

Looking at that article, the problem is that SHIFT+J is usually mapped to toggling Jetways, so FSX may be overwriting that value. I ended up using one of the [usually redundant] Concord keys:

<Entry>
<Key>CTRL+VK_QUOTE</Key>
<Down>TOGGLE_AIRPORT_NAME_DISPLAY</Down>
</Entry>

This is CTRL-single quote. I'll post a pic to show it working in FSX/Win7.

On a side note, is there a setting somewhere that determines the size of the font used in these (and other) labels?
