avoiding automatic split-window-horizontally

[Buchs, Kevin]

I use Emacs 24.3 on MS Windows 7 with a large format monitor
(2560x1600). Sometimes I want to view files with wide lines so I make my
frame very wide. Certain commands will request a new window and this may
often split a window vertically. However, in a wide frame, I observe
automatic horizontal splitting. I'd like to avoid this, as it reduces my
desired wide window. I haven't found anything in Info that enlightens me
as to how to avoid the automatic splitting. Any suggestions?
