Is there a setting in Visual Studio 2008 to show keyboard shortcuts in button tooltips?

Visual Studio 6.0 used to show the keyboard shortcuts in the tooltips for the toolbar buttons. Is there a setting in Visual Studio 2008 that turns that on, or is that yet another case of Microsoft deciding to remove a feature that some find useful from one of their products?

Check out:

Did you know... you can show shortcut keys in toolbar tooltips? - #056

Right-click anywhere on any toolbar or toolbar region to bring up the context menu, and select Customize. In the lower left-hand corner, select Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips. Now when you hover over a command, you'll see the keyboard shortcut in the tooltip (aka screen tip).

Sara Ford's blog is an excellent resource on Visual Studio.
