I've posted this question a couple of times and read a book on Drupal and so far I don't have any good answers. I have a menu for regular users and it has two tabs entitled Home & Table. I then have a menu for Admin that has three tabs Home, Table & Admin. I've had someone tell me to use blocks but not explain how. I've had some people say just set node only access on the page for Admin and it will disappear for everyone else which is not the case at all. I've had someone say to use the views module but not explain how to get started doing that either so that did not work out. Can this be done?
Are you looking for this one ?? http://drupal.org/project/menu_per_role

Picture the way that the Primary Links are always visible to everyone, but the Navigation menu is generally only displayed to authenticated users.
Each menu (not menu item) you create automatically creates a block for itself. If you look at the Configure options for that block you will see how to display that menu for particular roles, or only on specific pages.

You said "You have a navigation menu. For normal users you want 2 items to come up in the menu and for admin a 3rd one should append in the same menu". I suggested you a module which does the same thing.
If you don't want like this, Please be more specific on the requirements, I think I didn't get the requirements correctly.
Thanks!

I've gotten better answers today than ever before I think. I'm in the process of testing all of them right now.

This leads me to the same problem I had last time with Drupal 7. I go to structure->blocks and "Main Menu" is listed under disabled. There is such a cluster in that menu I'm really not sure how I'm even supposed to locate the block for the main menu which does indeed exist for I see it with my very eyes and there are three tabs.

Using this method I was able to create two separate menu's one for regular users and one for admin people. It works great. It is very deceiving when you have a default installation and the "Main Manu" is listed as disabled under blocks. If you enable "Main Menu" in blocks and put it in the header you will now have TWO "Main Menu"'s not just one. Who would have thought?
