For some – ‘hot corners’ is THE most annoying thing ever to be added to the Apple Mac system software! Personally I find the hot corners feature incredibly useful but… I have witness many people have fits over it’s annoying way of disappearing everything you are working on and giving you no hint on how to restore your desktop! To remove its effect witout removing hot corners – simply slide the mouse off into each of the corners and OFF your screen and you will have your desktop (or whatever effect it had restored).
