Restore lost windows & tabs in Finder from Time Machine backup

I had a dozen or so windows with some tabs open in Finder for a long time. Today I find out it's randomly lost them all. Is there a way to restore the open windows/tabs using a Time Machine backup? Thanks! EDIT: I tried restoring "com.apple.finder.plist" from /Users/[User]/Library/Preferences but it doesn't work. I don't think the system is letting me do this properly while Finder is running. Is there a way to keep it killed while I swap the file? Or how could I do this from recovery? Does this file even store the open folders?
