Backup/restore currently open Windows Explorer windows

I'm aware of the feature in Windows that will allow you to "restore previous folder windows at logon" because I'm already using it. When am working on a big project and have 10 million things going on at once, explorer might crash or I might have to forcefully restart explorer and then all the folders that I had open won't automatically reopen like they do if I restart Windows normally.

I need a way to backup/restore all my currently opened File Explorer folder windows. I've searched but found nothing.

At the very least, if there was a way to capture the paths to all the currently opened folders, then I could at least create a batch script to re-open all of them. But I don't know of a way to capture the paths of all the currently opened folders.

*I found a dos utility called "Handle" that will display information about open handles for any process in the system. I was able to create a batch script and using handle I am able to output a list of open folders that are currently open, however it's definitely far from ideal. I still then have to take that output and clean it, then create another script from it to then automate opening the folders.

I'm certain that someone must know of some utility that has already been created for this specific purpose.
