The pathway or breadcrumb is a hierarchical trail that shows your current location on the site. The breadcrumb follows the Section, Catgory, Content Item hierarchy and a site's home page is always listed as the root of the hierarchy as "Home".

An example is as follows; You are currently reading a content item "New Page". This content item is a member of the "Pages " category. In the turn the pages category is a member of the "Books" section. In this case the breadcrumb for that page would look like: "Home >> Books >> Pages >> New Page".

If you wish to eliminate the pathway entirely, edit your template html (index) file. Usually it will look like this:
<div id="pathway">
<?php mosPathWay(); ?>
</div>

If you wish to eliminate it on a specific page, such as just the home page, you can modify the template in this way:
New line:if($option != "" && $option != "com_frontpage")
New line:{
New line:?>
Existing:<div id="pathway">
Existing:<?php mosPathWay(); ?>
Existing:</div>
New line:}
New line:?>
Understanding: The first line says that if the option in the url does not equal com_frontpage (!="com_frontpage") display the pathway. In php ! means not.
