Remove "cobalt" from urls

I think if you add joomla menu item to section home, 'component/cobalt' will not be in your url.

Exactly. If you have setup correct menu-Items and usual parameters, you should get proper SEF URL's. No matter if "personalization" is on or off. URL's should look like these:

section
YourDomain.com/SectionMenuItemAlias

category
YourDomain.com/SectionMenuItemAlias/category-items/##-CategoryAlias/##-SubCategoryAlias

single record
YourDomain.com/SectionMenuItemAlias/item/##-CategoryAlias/##-ItemAlias

personalization ON / user's homepage
YourDomain.com/SectionMenuItemAlias/user-items/created/##-SectionName/##-Username

user's single record
YourDomain.com/SectionMenuItemAlias/user-item/##-Username/##-ItemAlias

MenuItemType - External URL

Do you use external URLs for categories?
I can re-create and see your URL structure with MenuItems of type "External URL".

Check Category parameters: menu ID (ItemID) target
As far as I can tell, you can leave it to inherit.
This setting has an impact on all Cobalt category links, for instance Cat-Index; Cat-Module, links in records list.

Results & possible Drawbacks

Here are my experiences with the 2 options:
1.) If I select the external URL as target, I get your "strange" SEF URL including cobalt and extra ItemID.
2.) If I select inherit as target, the MenuItem gets a plain none SEF URL!

Hope this helps.
