Go back to Language options in the Control panel and Remove English (United
Kingdom). Then add it back again and ensure that the keyboard selected is
German. Then your y and z should remain where they usually are, and your ß
should be next to 0.

On XP, at any rate, I have to right-click on the Taskbar and select
Toolbars. The Language bar is one of the options. It will probably appear
on the desktop, but if you examine it carefully you should find a way of
minimizing it to the taskbar - a tiny '-' above a tiny arrow called
'Options'.

Very good now.
I have just a just a last small problem.
I made "Alt - Left Shift - 3 for 3nglish " what worked fine.
After making the above change with keyboard. the key-combi was lost.
But I cannot assign it new, because software says, the combi is already used

We're getting there! I'm not sure I can help with this, because I can't
find out how the keyboard shortcuts are stored. It may be that if you
uninstall the English language again and then *reboot*, the shortcut you
had assigned to it will be removed. So when you restart and again install
English, your chosen shortcut will once again be available for selection.
Worth a try, until some geek comes along to tell us which particular
registry key has to be modified and how.

Otherwise, if you only use English and German daily, just use the standard
Alt - Left Shift combo to cycle through the installed languages. If there
are only two, you have a toggle.
[I currently have twelve languages installed. It's quite colourful when I
repeatedly press Alt-Left Shift when I'm composing a message, because each
press gives rise to a different crop of wiggly red lines.]
