image for how to disable dashboard osx snow leopard

I dont use the osx widget dashboard.
so i had to look for a way to turn it off:

it turns out that its pretty easy:

  • open terminal > type:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
    killall Dock
    

    this will disable your dock.

  • to re-enable it just do
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
    killall Dock
    

    enjoy =)
