How do I restore dashboard to default

As default, Dashboard in OS X Lion has Clock, iCal, Weather, and calculator all nicely arranged in the middle. But over time I moved them. Is there any way of restoring the default widgets and their placement? I know I can get the widgets back but I can't align them the same way as what they came with. Is there a way?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

My apologies. I wasn't reading very carefully, was I?


I'm not quite sure that you can do a reset, but you can try removing these files from /Home/Library/Preferences/:


com.apple.dashboard.client.plist

com.apple.dashboard.plist


You can then re-open Dashboard.


Otherwise, just put the desired widgets onto the Dashboard in whatever arrangement you prefer. You may have to restart the computer.
