I am not sure how I did this. My menus are all mixed up (but I think it's for Site Admin role only).
- I had a custom "Groupanizer menu" item that was disabled. I "enabled" it, edited content and title, and used the handles on the Groupanizer Menu edit page to move it to the left.
- I then used the "Flush all caches" command. I'm not sure if the menus had already messed up, or if my Flush trashed the hierarchy. I got no feedback that anything was happening, so I may have selected it again before completion.
Now, many of the items that were previously on the little black menu at the top of the screen for site admin have moved down into my navigation menu on the left hand side. They used to be under items at the top, not in a flat list on the left. Below is what is on my left hand menu. Previously I only had My account, Create content, and Log out.
Any idea what I did and how I can fix this? It's like the menu items forgot their parent. Even if I knew how to restore them to their proper parent, I wouldn't know what that parent is. Thanks so much for any help.

(bold & underline are the menus I want there; emphasis mine).
If you go to Administer-> Site building -> Menus -> Settings, what do you have as your menus for each of hte options? Mine are
Default Menu : Primary Links
Source for the Primary Links: Groupanizer Menus
Source for the Secondary Links: Secondary links
What are yours?
And can you not just disable what you enabled?

Yeah, see, here's one problem - I no longer have anything under Site building except Views. The rest of the dropdown was moved to my left hand menu. I checked the Settings for Menus and the source for Primary Links was (something other than Groupanizer menu) so I switched it to Groupanizer. No apperent effect, at least not on the items that I messed up. I disabled my main menu item. again no effect.
I tell ya, I messed up. :-( Menu items that used to be under the "Administration menu" are now under the "Navigation menu". I am having success changing the "Parent Item" of each menu, but it's slow and error-prone (hard to see the hierarchy on the dropdown) - plus I don't know where each item belongs.
[It hopefully just affects me and the other site admin - at least a "normal user" can't see the extra menus. Not sure about execs, section leaders, etc. ]
