Dashboard help

[APPLEFAN8]

My dash board keeps coming up every like 5 minutes and then I have to hit F12 to make it go away is there anyway I can like turn it off or anything else to make it stop? Thanks

Do you maybe have a widget that’s causing this – a timer or reminder one, for example? You could try temporarily deactivating them one by one to see if you can pin point if one of them is the cause.

To turn Dashboard off:

 defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

To turn Dashboard on:

Do you have an active screen corner set up to bring up the dashboard? Are you moving the mouse into that corner by accident?

yeah I had hot corners on with my screensaver so everytime my mouse went to the left corner it would come up but it works now! Thanks for the help its gone
