That the Dashboard looks darn cute, no one can deny. But as useful as it may be, you also cant deny its a major resource hog.

After some Googling, I found a simple way to disable/enable it, and decided to throw together an Automator app to make the process more, well, automated.

This program is charity-ware; if it makes a difference on your day-to-day, help the children of the world by donating to UNICEF (http://www.unicef.org). Any amount is welcome!
You can redistribute it on any media, as long as the contents of the archive remain untouched, and include this readme crediting me for its creation.

Bye Bye Dashboard.
Drive without the Dashboard.
Bye Bye Dashboard is a free utility to easily and painlessly remove the Dashboard. Tests show that the Dashboard uses a siginificant amount of CPU power even when not in use. It has also shown to use a large ammount of internet bandwith. Also in a corporate enviroment the Dahsboard could be come a distration to employees. Thus Bye Bye Dashboard is made.
The Dashbaord is not in any way an essiential part of OS X it is simply another Appliction built into OS X. Disabling the Dashbaord is in no way a permanent opperation. Bye Bye Dashboard also works the other way. It can eaisly enable the Dashboard in seconds. This is rather useful if you want to have the Dashboard disabled but still have the ability to use it when you disire it.
I hope you like Bye Bye Dashboard, and if you have any comments or feed back please email me (See contact us).
Enhancements:
- Update.

If you want to always have Dashboard up and running—this little tool can help you. Just check the autorun option and your Dashboard will start automatically after each system startup.

There is also an option to kill all widgets processes to free system memory. Its not usually necessary, but it can increase your Macs performance for a little.

You can also delete the application freely after using it—everything will work as intended.

Enhancements: Less processor use

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
