What I want to know is how to set up a timer so that 1 min after the button is disabled, it is unlocked. Please bear in mind I have just started using VB, and this is for my college course. Thank you in advance. Oh, and by the way, I am using VB 2005 Express

In the same event that disables the button, start the timer.

However, one thing he forgot to mention is that if you want your timer to go off after one minute, you must set the Interval property of the timer to 60000. Since the interval is measured in 1/1000 of a second, 60000 as an interval would be 60 seconds.
