You can have a different last used cell than the one excel uses.

If you hit ctrl-end, I bet you're taken far to the right (of what you expect).

Visit Debra Dalgleish's site to see a way to reset this last used cell:

I have a document open in xcel and I cannot figure out how to get the
horizontal scroll bar to be bigger. I mean I have zoomed out to see if I
have anything "out in space", but there is nothing. The problem is I
have freeze panes on the first column, and if I hit the horizontal
scroll over it takes me way to far. The tab is real small. I only want
to be able to scroll side to side the size of my document, not every
possible cell there is. Please help.
