You have the choice to turn this off if you want to. Open System preferences and use Keyboard and Mouse. You reconfigure which widgets appear on your screen by clicking on the round circle with the plus mark in it that is in the lower left corner of your screen when the widgets are active.

Out of the box, one of the buttons on the Apple pseudo-multi-button mouse is programmed to invoke Expose. This can be disabled with the appropriate Preference Panel (Keyboard and Mouse?).

This only happens when you activate Dashboard. By default Dashboard is triggered by the F12 key only. If you can trigger it with something else (perhaps moving your mouse cursor into a specific corner), then you must have configured that yourself. Just change that ito whatever *is* practical to you. > and i have to work with the middle scroll button to make them disappear Eh? Never heard of a middle scroll button. > i also have more downloaded than my screen can fit Downloading is 1 thing, installing another, and activating yet another ;) Anyway, to deactivate a Dashboard Widget, first activate Dashboard, then hold the Option/Alt key. Now when you moce the mousecursor over a Widge you'll see an X sign right next to it. Click that to close the Widget.
