The screenshot shows your trying to launch "qbittorent.ex e"  (note the space) and you need to ensure your closing your " at both ends, also rather than waiting for a "keypress", use

PING localhost -n 10 >NUL , OR another way to make it wait is TIMEOUT /T 10 /NOBREAK
Once you've got it nailed use @echo off.

 

I've neither installed, but something like the below:-

 

@echo off

cd "C:\Program files (x86)\hotspot shield\bin"

Start hsscp.exe -min

PING localhost -n 12 >NUL

cd "C:\program files\qbittorrent"

start qbittorent.exe

start qbittorent.exe

actually, when i spelled qbittorrent on the second line i used 1 R instead of 2. That was my error. Much appreciated.
