When people _has to_ use a third party app to disable something, you should review what are you doing.

There is another company in Redmond making impossible to quit extensions already, one is clearly enough for IT world.

A clear sign of ignorance - Stormchild

Obviously you don't understand how Dashboard works. This third-party app for "disabling Dashboard" is completely unnecessary. All you have to do is not load any widgets, because there is no such application as "Dashboard" to disable -- it's just a name for that Expose layer where mini-apps called widgets will appear.

Again...if you don't load any widgets, there is NOTHING to disable. Next time you want to start pointing fingers at Apple, do your homework first.

A clear sign of ignorance - Shooshie

Actually, yes, there is reason to disable Dashboard. Once you have loaded widgets, there is no way to turn them off except to literally quit each one of them by option-clicking their "close" button. If you have spent time arranging your widgets on screen, this loses your work. DashOff gives you the ability to do it all at once, and still have your widgets come back just where you left them when you decide to turn it back on.

It's a good, needed, useful app.
