This post won’t make much sense unless you use Drupal.
Menu Block
http://drupal.org/project/menu_block
If you have a horizontal menu system at the top of your site, and want the vertical menu system on the side of your site to change depending on what horizontal menu item you have selected, this is the module for you.
For example, you can take the Primary menu, and create two new blocks from it. One block containing just the root parent menu items, and the other block containing the children of whichever parent item is currently selected. You use these new blocks instead of the primary menu block.

Menu Breadcrumb
http://drupal.org/project/menu_breadcrumb
By default, Drupal 6 will use the Navigation menu for the breadcrumb. So while you are looking at a sub page of your primary menu, all the breadcrumb is showing is “Home” because the page you are viewing isn’t connected to the Navigation menu. This module allows you to use the menu the current page belongs to for the breadcrumb.
I was happy to see I can actually disable items from the menu, yet have the pages still display breadcrumbs using that menu item.
