Excel 2007: what happened to the Auto Expand Selection tool?

Older versions of Excel had a icon that would expand the selection to include any non-empty cells in all directions. It was an X shape with four arrowheads. You can still write VBA code to do this, but I really miss this tool. Did they just drop it from Excel 2007?

"You can add the button to the quick access toolbar. Select More Commands in the Customize dialog. Then in the 'Choose commands from:' dropdown select 'Commands not in the ribbon' and it is called 'Select current region' (listed alphabetically). Then click add.

Ctrl+Shift+* will do the trick if you prefer."
