Hi Haris,
Another possibility is to use NetSapiensis' contributed Course Menu block instead of the core Navigation block. As I have zero PHP skills I have hacked this with CSS. There was a discussion in the Using Moodle forum here about removing items fromthe core Navigation block:

...and in the forum for the Course Menu block where I posted the CSS which I used:

Hi Dan,
I have been playing around further with this. Menu below shows a very minimal approach to navigation ie just links to each course and then the topics within each course.
It may be possible to hide elements using permissions, but I could not get this to work. So I resorted to what I know best: CSS hacks ; ). The hacks needed are explained in my post in the course menu discussion thread here:

Hi Ray,
Apologies but understanding of roles, permissions, capabilities is hazy. The setting shown above was initially 'Not Set'. Am using Moodle 2.03. I do not know what the intention is for the default behaviour.
I have therefore resorted to a CSS hack!

PS,
On further testing you also need this rule:
.block_navigation ul ul ul p {
display: none;
}

Hi Ray and Alex,
Thanks both. Ray I tried your suggestion. I think that you meant the setting below:
I changed this to 'prohibit' and saved. Also changed the one to do with course participants. This didn't have any affect on the navigation menu.
I have tried a css hack though which worked. It is possible to turn off the levels of the menu below the top level.
.depth_3 {
display: none;
}
Result is show below:
