Right now, if I send an email, my user name shows up in the 'sender' field. I want to change it so it will show my first name.

I am using Exchange 2000 sp3 with Active Directory. I've tried going to my account properties in AD and changing the personal information there, but it still shows my user name when I send something.

Anyone know where I need to make the necessary change?

Get into your Users' console, go to your User-properties by right-clicking the username. Find for a tab called "Exchange advanced". If not visible, close the 'properties', go to "View" and enable viewing "Advanced Features".
Once again, back to properites of the User, find the 'Exchange Advanced' tab-sheet.
You will see something called "Simple Display Name"; and a field below it; enter the name you wish to display. Close the properties page by clicking 'OK'.
Give some time for it to refresh, and send a test mail to yourself, it should show the new Display Name.
