WinXP- Remembering what apps/files I had open

[Hotpepperz]

Does anyone know if windows XP can "remember" what files I have open? For example, at the end of my workday, I have about 10+ windows open. It would be nice to be able to somehow save what files I have open without having to open them all back up again. It would seem it could be done with a bunch of temporary shortcuts and it would save them into one file and placed on the desktop. When you log back in, all you would have to do is to double click on the Icon and it would restore your workspace and remove the temporary Icon from your desktop.

Can this currently be done? Is there an app for doing it?

How about instead of shutting down you use hibernate.

you could maybe write a small app that stores list of said files when windows shuts down, then it runs on startup, opening the list of files.

But that might be overkill, I usually use Standby on my laptop.
