Navigation in a SharePoint 2010 Site thru Breadcrumbs.

Two types of breadcrumbs that can help navigation in a SharePoint Site: Horizontal and Folder Breadcrumb. They show the navigation Path to the current/landing page and at the same time help you move (backward) to higher level sites on the Path.
With the Folder Breadcrumb, you can move across sub-sites within your team site. When you mouse over the Folder icon, you can view the Navigation from the Root Site to the Landing page.
The Horizontal Breadcrumb, you can move across pages within a site or view options to list pages.

If you don't like the SharePoint 2010 style breadcrumbs and want to revert to the SharePoint 2007 style breadcrumb, copy the 'Breadcrumb' code snippet from the v3 master page.
In the v3 master page (default.master) you can see the following code and paste in your v4.master master page.



I have noticed a few uncertainities and abnormal behavior in the Site Settings page where it does not display the path in a horizontal style. It works perfectly in most pages.
