Hello,
When I start emacs with a file, the window is automatically split
horizontally into two
from the beginning. How do I remove this setting (that is, no initial
splitting by default)?
I am using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0).
Thanks,
Mitul

Please give more information, what are the contents of the two windows?
Do you have an emacs init file (.emacs) ?

Thanks Erik.
From my Ubuntu OS, When i start like: "emacs file.txt &",
in the first window i see the contents of the file "file.txt".
In the second split window, below the first, I see Information about "GNU
Emacs".
Like: "Welcome to GNU Emacs...".
Here are the contents of the ~/.emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks!

Try adding
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
to your .emacs.
Or, start emacs with the --no-splash option.

I think it could be this emacs splash screen that is the cause. Try
adding the following line to your ~/.emacs and restarting emacs.
;; don't show splash screen
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)

To prevent this I have the following in my .emacs file.
(if (>= emacs-major-version 22)
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t))
If someone on the list has a solution that only does that if there are
files on the command line that would be preferable to me.

I have:
(when (> (length command-line-args) 1)
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t))
