Can I get VM windows outside the VMWare workstation window?

I have an XP VM in VMWare Workstation 6.5. I think read somewhere that its possible to drag windows that belong to programs running on the VM outside the VMWare window, so they act like normal desktop windows. I want to do this so I can still use all 3 monitors of my desktop for programs running on the VM. My company's VPN sortware doesn't run on 64 bit operating systems, so I have to remote in via a 32bit virtual machine.

"While the VM is running, go to VMware Workstation's ""View"" menu and choose Unity mode.

You must have the VMware Client stuff installed in the client for this to work."
