This is really a matter not for OpenOffice but for your operating system - which you have kept a secret. But you appear to be using Windows 7.
You can put links to specific document files in the Startup settings of Windows, but you'd have to change these as the range of documents in use changed.
An easier technique is to hibernate your system instead of shutting it down. This powers off your computer gracefully, but instead of closing applications it copies their current state to disk, so that they are reopened in the same state when you power up your system again. But note that there are some drawbacks. If you shut down normally, you will be prompted to save unsaved but modified documents. Hibernating doesn't do this, so the copy of anything in the cloud, for example, may not be completely up to date if later accessed from elsewhere if you have not saved explicitly before hibernating. If you have prepared an e-mail message but not sent it, you may not be reminded to do so before your system powers off, and you may forget to do so. But with a bit of care, hibernation can be the trick you need. In any case, it may be wise to restart your system normally every so often.
