On my windows system as I restart my old Explorer windows reopen all the Explorer windows I had the last time when I shut down, is it possible for me to do the same for my Mac Finder windows?

I am on version 10.9.5

I had a look at: Apple Script - Reopen Closed Finder Windows

but that seems to use some scripting that as a noob to the Mac I really don't have a clue about (plus that question is a year old, perhaps something has changed... ), i was hoping for something where I can change a setting (like I did on Windows)?

Yes it is possible, when you shut down (or restart) your Mac with your Finder windows still open, just check the checkbox that says "Reopen windows when logging back in". When you log back in, all of your windows that were open when shut down will re-open. Here is a picture of the checkbox, when you click Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu (top left): reopen windows when logging back in

Additionally, your other option is to go into System Prefs -> Users a& Groups. Then click on your username and on the right-hand side click on Login Items. You can then specify specific folders to open of your choosing
