Use "C-x 5 f" instead of "C-x C-f".

Switch back to the previous frame (e.g., by mouse-clicking on it).

C-x 1           delete all windows except the current one
C-x 2           split the current window into two
C-x 0           delete the current window

Activate `winner-mode' (info "(emacs)Window Convenience").

C-x C-f /your/file RET

C-x 1

To go back to three windows type C-x <left> (or C-c <left>, if you
are using Emacs from CVS).

To get a new Emacs frame that has only one buffer (for the file), instead of two small Emacs windows in the same Emacs frame ("window" in common speak), put this in your init file (.emacs or _emacs):

(setq pop-up-frames t)
