And what exactly seems to be the problem? This should not be too difficult to accomplish even for a beginner. Please edit your question and add a little more input. Like what you have tried and where you are stuck!

Thanks for your cooperation!

If you would like to disable/enable menu, read this[^] article on msdn site. There you'll find an answer.

How to achieve this? Inside Menu_OnClick method:
1) Disable your menu
2) Show second form
Inside Form_Closing (Form2) event
1) Enable your menu

Yes its simple,
follow these steps:
> You first need to create a static object of the main form or mdi form in your program class.

> When you start program from Splash screen, show this static main form intializing its object.

> now create menus in this mdi form to show child form making it parent.
Now here comes the main part...
on form closing event of child form disable the menu of the mdi form. Here you will not create any object, just refer to the static object you created in Program class.

for a smiliar example you can also refer
Creating MDI application using C# (Walkthrough)[^]

I hope this helps you.
