Techniques are described for preserving desktop state between login sessions in desktop computing environments. During an active login session of a desktop by a user, the system intercepts all requests to open a file and records the requested file paths. The information can be recorded locally or at a remote location, such as a server accessed over a network connection. Before the login session is terminated, the system determines all open windows and captures a screenshot of each window that is open on the desktop at the time of terminating the login session. The location of each window is also determined and recorded along with the screenshots before the session is terminated. When the user starts a new active login session at a later time, the state of the desktop is restored using the recorded file paths, screenshots and window locations.
