You cannot use MPQ2K and StarEdit at the same time, because these try to access the same part of memory.

There's a modified StarEdit on this page that is supposed to allow you to run both at the same time. Just copy the StarEdit.exe, an old Storm.dll (the one with 1.08 might not work okay), Lmpqapi.dll and Mpq2k.exe to a directory defined in your path in autoexec.bat (If you don't know what I mean with that, just put them in C:\Windows\Command)

PS: Renaming a .chk to .scm/.scx does allow StarEdit to open it. StarCraft however will only run compressed .scm/.scx files.

Actually, changing it does let StarEdit open it. That's how you extract the original campaign. Maybe it only works for those missions or something.

No, it works for all chk files, including the one you make yourself.

And uhh, yourpost hardly makes any sence at all, unless I would assume that you thought I said that it was NOT possible to open them in StarEdit, which I didn't.

Also, you could also just leave them as .chk, and then in StarEdit, set the filename to *.*, press enter, and then select your .chk file (it should show up now).

Another way is to associate .chk files with staredit.exe.
