Restricting menu navigation

Hi pros...
Found this tutorial article but it doesn't REALLY answer what I need. This assumes that each slide in the menu is reflective of the course content. I only want to show the basic headings to help my learner know where they are in the course, but I don't want to give them the ability to click on it.
I have 6 topic headings, each with 4-5 sub-slides attached to them (called "Untitled" or "Topic 1.2" "Topic 1.3" etc.) I don't want to show all of these sub-slides in the menu, but I need the learner to go through them to get the full content.
Restricting or Locking still allows the learner to click the menu item. How can you actually LOCK it so it's not a clickable item?
Thanks!!

If you'd like to hide all of the sub-slides from the menu, use the "Removing Items from the Menu" steps in the tutorial you found to select and delete each of those from the menu.
Thanks Melanie. I had previously removed them but that's what created the problem... because they are not seeing the sub-slides in the menu, they are clicking on what they THINK is the next item from the left menu, when really, they should be using the nav buttons at the bottom.
"Restricted" only allows them to click on slides they've already viewed using Prev/Next buttons, that seems very close to the behaviour you're expecting.
