Hide settings icon from home screen in an enterprise environment

Hi,
This question may have already been answered but I was wondering if there was anyway apart from jailbreaking the iPad, the settings icon can be hidden. I have seen it done before on other iPads that have not been jailbroken. Is there an xml file that perhaps can be written and deployed as a profile to the iPad. A quick response would be appreciated
Thanks

I don't know if you can completely get rid of the Settings app, but there a great deal that you can do with the iPhone Conficuration Utility and the Profile Manager is OS X Lion Server.

  • Howto remove apple icons from home screen

    Hello!
    How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

    The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.
    So, you will need a different theme that has the features you desire.

  • Disappearing Icons from Home Screen

    Has anyone else experienced their icons disappearing from their home screen? Then reappear randomly by either pressing the back key or home key.... It's really weird, but it consistently happens with my Handcent SMS app. Anyone else experience that?

    Cs72313, thank you for your inquiry. That is very strange. I have a Nexus also and have not noticed any of my applications disappearing from the home screen. If this is only happening with Handcent, try uninstalling the application and re-installing. Also check the reviews to see if other Nexus users are reporting this issue for Handcent and alert the developer.

  • Delete icons from home screen?

    I've added a couple of safari pages to the home screen. How do I get rid of the home screen icons when I don't want them any more? Thanks,
    John F

    You can only delete icons that you have added yourself, the Apple Apps are not removable.
    To delete icon touch and hold your finger on any icon until all the icons start to wiggle on the screen.
    The icons that can be deleted will have an X in the corner, touch the X to delete the icon.
    You can also rearrange the icons by dragging them around while they are wiggling.
    Once you are finished press the home button the lock them in position.

  • Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail.  Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

    I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
    In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
    From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
    I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
    I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
    Thanks in advance

    Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I'm not sure why anyone would want to help you if you start a thread by cursing at and berating the people from whom you want help.
    Where did you purchase your phone? What is the model number? What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't been disabled in Restrictions?

  • My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout"  with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. Help?

    Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

    My ipad has lost the settings icon on main screen?? how do i get it back? or reset the ipad

    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it. It cannot be deleted from the iPad.
    You can reset the the home screen layout but that returns the home screen to the original out of the box set up - but it will restore the icon to the home screen.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • TS3988 I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD

    Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on.  Then see if you can access Settings.

  • How do I delete icons in Home Screen?

    Hey guys,
    My sister used my curve and when I got it back, I saw that there was a Myspace icon for the Myspace app on my home screen.  The app isn't downloaded yet, but I can't seem to delete the icon from my screen (I don't want it there).  For now I just have it hidden.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Go to options, advanced options, applications.
    Let the table build and then check to see if you have an application for Myspace.
    If you do highlight  the entry and menu key, delete.
    Do a battery pull and this will delete the icon.
    Some apps are pre set by your carrier. On my Curve I have facebook, part of the
    Verizon setup. I can delete it, but whenever I get service books it is pushed to the
    phone by the carrier and the icon returns. I have created a folder for these apps and
    all others I do not use. By keeping the useless apps in a folder I reduce clutter and
    do not accidentally activate them.
    Thanks,
