A dreaful mistake lead to the following situation: Each and every one of my mouse buttons loads the Dashboard. I can't change the settings, not without using the mouse. It's a Catch 22.
How can I reset the mouse's settings, using Terminal, perhaps?
Help. Thank you.
UPDATE: I've disabled the Dashboard, using Terminal command line. But now the mouse is left functionless. I can't click on (almost) anything. At least not on anything I need.
I'm saved!
Simple solution to this awful catch-22 on Macs: If you have another computer, use Teleport to get control on the looped computer.
Three cons: 1) You have to have a second computer. 2) You have to have Teleport installed on both of them. 3) Teleport must be running on both of them while you're looped. Otherwise you won't get it started.
You can use the defaults command to remove your changes to default behaviour. defaults find mouse will, hopefully, list the relevant change, among others, then default delete com.apple.whatever (say) will delete a particular instance.
I've no idea how you got into this trouble: how did you configure this damned behaviour?
