Both forms are used and both are considered correct..
You are taller than I..........is a short form of .....You are taller than I am.
You are taller than me......is also correct.
She is taller than he...... is a short form of.....She is taller than he is.
She is taller than him.....is also correct.

"you are taller than me" is more correct I think.
we would not really say "you are taller than I"
Actually, I would probably phrase it "I am taller than you", or "you are shorter than me"
(at 192cm, I think I am probably taller .... :)
There are lots of things in English that don't make any logical sense. Best just to learn how it is done.
formally, we say "can Fred and I can go now" but in spoken, we could say "can me and Fred go now", it's much less formal, but still common enough.
