10.4: Disable the installation of Dashboard Widgets
Authored by: neuralstatic on May 12, '06 10:53:30AM

well you can prevent which applications a user can run in the Accounts settings, Desktop or Application folder.

i personally just disable dashboard for all users since they're resource pigs.
but to keep a locked suite of 'ok' widgets, this tip looks useful.

10.4: Disable the installation of Dashboard Widgets
Authored by: mm2270 on May 15, '06 07:18:12AM

I ended up disabling the whole dashboard environment for my users when I rolled out Tiger because there are too many games for Dashboard. Being in a corporate environment, getting caught playing a game is the kiss of death, so I did this to remove any temptation to do so. I'm actually protecting the users, even though I'm sure some of them don't see it that way.

However, I'll take a closer look at this hint to see if setting up a limited and accepted Dashboard environment will work.
