I would like to have this one drop down menu on all the pages of my site, but i would like to make it so that i only have to update one file, and all the drop down menus will show the same content, can you guys help me out, i do have access to cgi-bin etc.

Use SSI to write the file (drop down menu file) to each page. With a little bit of programming you can make it so that the active page won't be linked.
