Not quite sure I follow your question 100% but I think you are talking about
your XP session being full screen and not a window.  To toggle your VPC
session between full screen and a window press the "Apple" and "Return" keys
at the same time.  That will make your full screen a window and then you can
minimize your VPC session and work under OSX and the VPC will be just
another OSX application.  Also while in full screen mode if you hold down
just the "Apple" key it will bring up the Dock and allow you some access to
OSX.  You just may wish to make the VPC session a window though and have
full access to OSX.

Hope this is what you were after.

So you're in VPC7/WXP and want to switch to a regular MacOS X APP.
You simply go to the dock and select the desired OS X APP.

Here's from my post a couple of days ago :
