A reader asked for a version of the DisableDashboard widget which only kills the Dashboard without losing the ability to restart using F12.

So here’s a StopDashboard widget, basically a modified version of the DisableDashboard widget.

All this widget does is kill the Dock process (which Dashboard is a part of). MacOSX will automatically restart the Dock but without Dashboard in memory.
Press F12 to start it up again.
