Not that I am aware of. Why exactly do you need that?

... it's because of my firewall. It would be better if PB always would use the same name for the compiled executable instead of PureBasic_Compilation0, PureBasic_Compilation1, PureBasic_Compilation2,...

You mean your antivirus? A firewall should not make any problems here.
The only thing you can do is to enable the checkbox for creating the temporary executable in the source file folder. You will find it in the compiler options.

You're right, not AntiVirus, but there is a process protection included.
I anabled the mentioned checkbox. If there is an existing executable, PB increases the number at the end of this file automatically...
But if it doesn't work, then I'll just have to live with it

I simply added the exception for the files ‘...\Temp\PureBasic_Compilation_[0,1,2,3,etc].exe’ to Avira.

With projects you can do it. See the Output Executable field:
