Widget watch: Disable Dashboard

dashboard_iconHere's a seemingly oxymoronic Dashboard widget. The Disable Dashboard widget does just that - one click and Dashboard quits. The widget's author, Natal Vande Casteele, writes: "It’s been commented elsewhere that running “killall dock” and never launching the Dashboard basically has the same effect. This is true but I prefer to disable the Dashboard altogether to prevent accidentally starting it up."

He also notes that it's probably a good idea to remember to re-enable Dashboard before installing any system updates. You can use his Disable & Enable Dashboard Utility for his purpose.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
