How to change/add links in the main site navigation bar

I tried to do this with the web_menu.sitemap file in the root of my installation and it didn't work.

I even deleted that file completely and it showed no difference whatsover to the top navigation menu. (I also restored it after!)

I am working with a custom theme but I have't deleted anything that would appear to affect the top menu.

I assume that the code in the Master Page:

<user:NavigationMenu ID="UC_NavigationMenu" runat="server" />

Generates the top navigation menu.

I can't find anything in the backend or the user manual to suggest how to control a level for the number of nested lists that are generated in the top navigation menu.

I really need to do this as I want switch off the nested lists that are generated in the top navigation menu at the moment.

So in your case, you can do that through FTP, just copy your web.config somewhere in your local machine, then copy it back to the hosting folder, it will ask to replace ... choose yes.
