Chris,
You can turn off the Accessory Window by going to File > Options > Accessory Window - Graphics Toolbar location: and setting it to "Do Not Show"
Under Apperance > Visibilities you can uncheck the option for Lables to get rid of the lables in the upper left but this excludes more than the Quanity and Type drop downs.
This can also be set in a config.pro file for defaults for startup if needed.
