Hello,
how i am able to show the file name of the opened file
in the upper left area of the emacs border (graphical OS- Win2000) and
therewith in the task panel,
where "***@user" is displayed, now.

Thank you very much.

Looking at the help for the "frame-title-format" variable, we see that
it's default value is only %b (i.e. buffer name) if "multiple-frames"
evaluates to true. In MsWin speak, that's if the one emacs process has
more than one window. Bit confusing as emacs calls the two views you
get with C-x-2 "windows", but I digress.

Anyway, you need to tell emacs that you always want a frame title of
the buffer name, so in your .emacs file, include the line:

(setq frame-title-format '("%b"))

That should do it!

P.S. Thanks - I'd never got round to looking up how to change this!
