@stroughtonsmith @gruber for someone who doesn't ever use Terminal, do you just copy and paste that into a terminal window and it should work? a "terminal for dummies" How-To would be appreciated!

@jasonjahnkefilms @gruber the quick answer is yes (and then log out or restart your Mac), but the /right/ answer is you should never paste commands into a Terminal unless you know what they're gonna do!

You've already copied `defaults write` commands. Sometimes you don't know what they do and are not sure they still work. This list of macOS defaults commands is here to help.
