It depends on the usage.
"You and I are going to the store"
"Mom gave a present to you and me"
If used as a subject, it's "you and I"
If used as the object, or after a preposition, it's "you and me"
I guess the easiest way to remember it is to just remove one or the other word and try it in a sentence. For example, you would never say "Me am going to the store" or "Mom gave a present to I".
Does that make sense? :)

Many people mix up the personal pronouns I and me. To avoid trouble, delete the other person from the equation and see what you’re left with. If you’ve written 'Sandra and me find that offensive', take away Sandra. You’re left with 'Me find that offensive'. That sounds strange, so you know that I, not me, is correct.

If I remember my grammar classes correctly, they are both correct depending on how you are using them. To determine which is correct drop the you and see if the personal pronoun still makes sense. If it doesn't you should be using the other option.

Depends on the use of it.
Mom is going to give you and me money to go to the movies.
You and I can go to the movies on Saturday.
If you take out the "you and" the sentance still works.

the phrase "you and me or you and I " depends on its usage. if it is the subject, then you and I is used. An example: You and I will go to the store. If the phrase is used as the object then you and me is used. For example: She choose you and me.

depends what context it is used in. when trying to decide, drop the you part and see which form of I/me you would use without it, and that's the one to use with it.
You and I will go to the supermarket. - I will go to the supermarket.
He has known you and me for years. - He has known me for years.

In what context? You would say "He laughed at you and me", but you would also say "You and I are going to the movies". It depends on how it's used.

It depends on whee and how it is used in a sentence. You can say "you and me" when the sentence is like, "He's meeting with you and me" because you can say "He's meeting with you" or "He's meeting with me," so you can say "He's meeting with you and me."
It's "you and I" because you don't say "Me is going down to the store," you say "I am going down to the store." So you don't say "You and me are going down to the store," you say "You and I are going down to the store." Another way to say "you and I" is to use "we". Replace "you and I" with "we". You don't say "We is going down to the store," you say "We are going down to the store."

You and me is informal. You and I is formal, so both are correct.
