You're right - creating another copy of Form1 is not the right way to go.

It's not very clear from your question, but it sounds like you want to re-enable the same button that you disabled before opening Form2. In that case, you can listen to Form2's FormClosed event and handle it in Form1:

public class Form1 : Form
{
    public void ShowForm2()
    {
        myButton.Enabled = false;
        var f2 = new Form2();
        f2.FormClosed += HandleForm2Closed;
        f2.Show();
    }

    private void HandleForm2Closed(Object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
    {
        myButton.Enabled = true;
    }
}
