I assume you've added a MenuStrip to your form? You can disable the whole menu by setting it's enabled property to false and enable it by setting that property to true. You don't need to do on an item by item basis, unless I'm not understanding you correctly.

Then my previous advice should work. Just use MenuStrip1.Enabled = False and MenuStrip1.Enabled = True.

but what u suggest MenuStrip1.Enabled = False enable and diseable all the menu ,means enables the login menu also// so how the user will logon

You stated you wanted to disable/enable the main menu. This to me meant the whole menu. To individually set items you can create a loop that iterates through each item and disable/enables it.

    'Option #1
    With MenuStrip1
        'Disable each menu item
        For i As Integer = 0 To .Items.Count - 1
            .Items(i).Enabled = False
        Next
        'Enable the one(s) we want by index
        .Items(0).Enabled = True
    End With

    'Option #2

    'Disable each menu item
    For Each item As ToolStripItem In MenuStrip1.Items
        item.Enabled = False
    Next
    'Enable by using it's name
    MenuStrip1.Items("FileToolStripMenuItem").Enabled = True

Enabling the items would just be a simple change
