Ubuntu – How to disable the Workspace Switcher in the Cinnamon environment I use with 12.04LTS

cinnamonworkspace-switcherworkspaces

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Cinnamon DE on my laptop.

Whenever I move the mouse cursor to the top left area of the screen, the workspace switcher comes up to offer multiple workspaces.

How do I disable this? I don't want this to happen when I move the mouse cursor to the top left area of the screen. I prefer to have only one workspace for my use.
