Windows 10: AdwCleaner: set to put Logs in folder with exe?

I acquired and ran AdwCleaner for the first several times today, and found that when it runs it creates a new AdwCleaner folder on C: and parks its Logs there. Is there a way to direct it to park its logs in the folder that contains the executable? Otherwise, it's an interesting tool. Pro 20H2
