Accidentally closed Finder window with many tabs — any way to recover?

Apparently I closed a Finder window that had a bunch of tabs open to remind me of important stuff I'm working on. Is there any way to recover that window with all its tabs, or am I just screwed?


I thought about trying to find some system file in Time Machine that remembers the state of the Finder from a previous backup, but a) I wouldn't know what to look for, and b) I don't know if that would work.
