applescript to disable hot corners

applescript to disable hot corners

-- By Richard Kulesus, 2009.  Released without license!
-- Use this for whatever!
-- I seriously despise code authors who copyright tiny bits of obvious code
-- like it's some great treasure.  This is small and simple, and if it saves
-- the next guy some time and trouble coding applescript I'll feel good!
--
-- Quickly change all the hot-corners to do what you want.
-- Particularly useful for presentations and full-screen games.
-- Customize the activity of each hot-corner with "all windows/application windows/dashboard/disable screen saver/none/show desktop/show spaces/sleep display/start screen saver"
-- The MODIFIERS are the keys which can be used to supplement hot-corner activation.
-- Here I've set them all to {}, which is none.  Options are "command/control/none/option/shift"
-- Dashboard in a fullscreen application.
--
-- Version 1.0
--  - Initial release
