Introduction
I work with Mac OSX everyday, but I don’t use the dashboard and therefore I like it removed from my overview. It is sometimes irritating to land in the dashboard when switching screens. Execute the following commands on the command line.
Disable the Dashboard:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock
Enable the Dashboard:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
killall Dock
killall Dock will restart the Dock so that the changes will take effect.
