You may want to check out Apple Configurator which allows you to lock your iPad 
to a single app so folks can't access the home screen and settings app.

Subject: [MCN-L] iPad Lockdown Help

Hi all ­ First time poster here. We have iPads in an interactive learning
space here with artful apps for our visitors to use. Every so often we
have to restore the iPads after valiant efforts to ³break into² the
settings which changes the passcode. We¹ve placed restrictions through the
settings and researched to see if there¹s any way to hide the
settings/misc folder. Our iPads are in stationary enclosures with access
only to the home button.

We¹re looking for an app or software that would make it possible for our
iPads to only allow visitors to use the apps we¹ve loaded and restrict
access to the settings ­ is there such a thing? Has anyone else
experienced this and how did you resolve it?

Many thanks,
Laura
