Default Can i detach windows in PT?

I really want to detach the mix window from the background window in PT. Right now i have two screens and it's kinda annoying when you need all that background window across two screens to enable you to drag windows to and from the screens.

I was wondering if there was a detach button or something, on the MAC version you can do this, but i'm not sure on how to do it on the windows version.

Yay, or nay?

The free way, just unmaximize the main Pro Tools window and stretch it across both screens. Then drag the mix/edit windows to what ever screen you want and stretch it to fit. But don't maximize. But, when you close Pro Tools you must use Alt+F4, or else you have to do all that drag and stretch stuff every time you boot the program.

The $40 way, buy a program called Skootch and it does all the window positioning automatically for you in less than 2 seconds! I use this method.
