Hi there! Less is right. There are other things you may or may not want to uncheck in that list. You'll find control-left-arrow, and F12, hich opens dash board, or at least it did in Lion. <grin> But there is also F11 to open the desktop. I like to use that one sometimes, so I don't uncheck that box. That's why a good old-fashioned snoop is in order here. Have fun!
