You can't. You can delete it but not disable it.

You can't enable/disable tab pages in any simple way. There are some workarounds you could try.

Remove tab page:

TabControl1.TabPages.RemoveByKey("TabPage1")

If you need to "enable" it later, save it first:

Dim MyTabPage As TabPage
MyTabPage = TabControl1.TabPages.Item("TabPage1")
TabControl1.TabPages.RemoveByKey("TabPage1")

however, I didn't test this if it works.

Disable controls in the tab page:

Dim oc As Control
For Each oc In TabControl1.TabPages.Item("TabPage1").Controls
   oc.Enabled = False
Next
