Default Line Weights Less Than 1 pt

The default drop-menu for stroke weight now starts with 1pt, having completely removed .25, .5 and .75pt line weights. 99% of the line weights I use in any vector drawing are 1pt or less, and now I have to manually type them in the stroke weight box in the palette. I may be on an island, but I have no need for 20pt, 30pt and 40pt line options in my stroke weight drop-down.

 

Is there any way to alter or control the default drop-down menu options for line stroke weight? I need my thin line options returned, and honestly I'd like to remove 20, 30 and 40 pt line weight options, just out of spite.

 

It's driving me crazy and it's slowed my workflow efficiency. Please tell me there is a fix.

Screenshot shows pixels not points... not sure .25, .5, .75 of a pixel are real...

Holy crap, you're right. Good eye. Thanks!

 

Why would my default settings just randomly change from line measurements in points to pixels with the new update to AI? Good grief. This reminds me of the time when Adobe changed the shift-enlarge proportionally key commands out of the blue...
