Yep, Mamewah has this built in.  Just hold down player 2 start for 3 seconds and the menu will be locked.  Do the same to turn it back on.

Is there a way to change this so mamewah starts automatically with the menu locked and not unlocked which is the default???

Yes, lock MW, and exit using the Exit Button.  Next time you start it up it will be locked (& will be locked forever until you unlock it).

Now that the menu is locked is there a way to exit via a combination of buttons?? as i usually go into the menu to exit, so with no menu not sure how to exit/shutdown????

By default the Exit Button is Escape (remap in Control Options > Customise Controls).  Set the Default Exit Button Action to determine whether it quits to Windows/shuts down etc...
