I like to keep a lot of code on one line. But, when I hit Ctrl K, Ctrl D to format the source code, it breaks the code lines. Is there a setting in Visual Studio, or a registry hack that I can do to increase the max line length?

This setting can be adjusted by opening Tools, Options, Text Editor, C#, Formatting, Wrapping
In the view you have a setting called “Leave block on single line”. If you check it, code will stay on one line.
Edit: The above option will only work for blocks though. There’s no way using vanilla Visual Studio to change the wrapping for “any line” (and I’m not aware of any registry hack unfortunately).
Using Resharper, you can set the number of columns that the text editor should consider when wrapping lines, and you can also determine if lines should or should not break. Details can be found in this answer by hmemcpy.
