Hi guys.  I have the 21.5" iMac that has the 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, Nvidia GeForce GT 640M Graphics processor and OSx Mountain Lion.  A friend has disabled my dashboard to have my system run faster.  I want to activate dashboard again.  Can someone help me with the dashboard activate code or script?  Thanks.

I need help with dashboard activate code

HI,
I made some research an I found a way how to activate your iMac Dashboard again.
Usually, for turning it off you must type in the terminal the next code:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
For turning your dashboard on you must type the following command in your terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
After this you must restart and than your computer should make the changes.
