For Adding jQuery

put your jQuery files inside web/js folder and add requirejs-config.js file

var config = {
    'map': {
        '*': {
            loader: 'Vendor_Module/js/jquery.loader',
            menu: 'Vendor_Module/js/jquery.menu'
        }
    }
};

For Enable/Disable - create system.xml file in below location

app/code/Vendor/Module/etc/adminhtml/system.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
