Hmm I just installed ZSH and it took me through a setup process with a
number of options including many that would affect autocomplete.  After the
setup process, it said I could run it again with these commands:

%autoload -Uz zsh-newuser-install

%zsh-newuser-install -f

I tried it and it seemed to let me change the configuration I originally
set.
