Missing shortcut in Gingerbread

I have always had a shortcut button on my home screen that when touched gave me icons for every installed program on my phone. I can not find it since Gingerbread. I can not even remember what it was called. Where do I go to get it back and what's its name?

When on the recent screen, in the upper left you will see an icon the looks like a clockface indicating 3 o'clock. Touch it and 3 icons show up...

Sound like its called the start menu.... The icon in the bottom right corner will open start menu and you can see every app you have installed there..

Since GB I have a square with a triangle in it as the far right soft icon. That opens a screen that says recent. The hard key on the right gives me search.

This is what you are looking for, GB added a feature to group your apps as you like with this option..

That's exactly what I wanted. Didn't look far enough! Thanks
