to exclude category top navigation menu retain category in left side menu. whether menu items should show in top navigation menu can controlled in admin. have perform next steps:

firstly, create boolean category attribute code 'use_in_navigation' using info upgrade script:

$installer = $this; $installer->startsetup(); $installer->addattribute('catalog_category', 'use_in_navigation', array( 'type' => 'int', 'input' => 'select', 'label' => 'use in navigation', 'required' => false, 'note' => '', 'user_defined' => '1', 'source' => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean', 'default' => false)); $entitytypeid = $installer->getentitytypeid('catalog_category'); $attributesetid = $installer->getdefaultattributesetid($entitytypeid); $installer->addattributetogroup( $entitytypeid, $attributesetid, 'general information', 'use_in_navigation', 100); $installer->endsetup();

secondly, override "_gethtml" "mage_page_block_html_topmenu" , skip rendering of children 'use_in_navigation' false:

protected function _gethtml(varien_data_tree_node $menutree, $childrenwrapclass){ .... foreach ($children $child) { if(!$child->getuseinnavigation()){ continue; } .... } }

something along these lines should trick.

note: function names have been taken magento ce 1.8. might differ magento ce 1.7.
