Sounds like a job for a report launcher form, with just a big listbox and a few buttons (add, remove, run).

Me, from a user POV, would vomit if a non-file menu behaves like that. I have a visual orientation and expect an entry on a certain location. If I alter this location, well it's static until next intended change.

A MRU for files like in an editor is fine so far, since the file is the data.
